Funky Revolutions is based on the One. Since 1994, host Khalid and guests have invited you to groove & celebrate the history of Africana music - the African diaspora and its musical reflections around the world.
We explore the past, present and future of the funk. From introducing trip-hop to Montréal in the early 90’s, to supporting hip-hop’s underground, to presenting ethno-musicographies of jazz, soul, reggae and afro-funk, Funky Revolutions embraces all grooves & the revolutionary spirit of the Funk, from the Black Arts Movement of the 70s to Indigenous defiances & liberations in the (post) colonial world.

February 3, 2024: Funk à Go Go II
We return to Washington DC and its Go-Go Funk. This rhythm, performance and sub-genre remains popular today emerging out of the band and club scene in the 70s and finding a recording foothold in the 80s. Check out the film Good to Go aka Short Fuse (1986) and documentaries like Welcome to the Go Go (1986), Go Go Swing (1989) and Straight Crankin' (2018).
