The basis of the project AperiVinyl, a selection of Funky and Disco music. Two musical genres that became a global phenomenon throughout the 1970s, which we’re playing to accompany your aperitif with rhythm and style (and then, as the evening goes on, to get you up and dancing!).
FROM JAMES BROWN TO GEORGE BENSON
There have been thousands of songs and artists in the funk and disco genres, but we’d still like to mention a few of them – the ones we play most often on our AperiVinyl programme: Earth, Wind & Fire (how could you not play “September”), George Benson (‘Give Me the Night’, amongst many others), James Brown (Funky Drummer, Gravity, Sex Machine) and then also the The Whispers, such as “And the beat goes on”, which was then “borrowed” 20 years later by Will Smith for the film *Miami*. In fact, many contemporary artists successfully draw inspiration from 70s funk and disco tracks: Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Daft Punk and many others! In the short video you can watch on this page, you can hear what we performed live at a gig on’AperiVinyl (featuring a guest appearance by the saxophonist during the DJ set).
