Funkadesi for Obama!!!!

[grace0418]

Funkadesi is an AWESOME band from Chicago. I've seen them live several times and they are always amazing. The members are from all over the world so their music is a mix of Reggae, African, Indian and more. Sometimes all in one song. Needless to say people get REALLY happy and dance like crazy when they see them play. Well they are also, no surprise, big fans of Obama. They just sent me this Youtube video. It's actually not the best showcase of their music, but they've played for Barack and they have a clip of him giving them a shout-out, plus they show them getting a crowd all riled up over Obama. It'll make you feel good, I swear.

3. Didn't think of it, but I will.

Thanks for the reminder! Yeah, seeing them at a summer festival is SOOOOOO much fun because EVERYBODY is dancing like crazy. You can't help it. I personally love the songs that have bangara elements.
