The Budos Band II

Brooklyn-based collective fuses Afro-beat rhythms with '70s soul-jazz, creating a sound that's a cross between the Sugarman 3 and Antibalas. With horns and horn charts dominating the lively, live-recorded tracks, this Afro-soul style is a dangerous and infectious blend. The Budos Band's concise songs, featuring titles like "King Cobra" and "Ride or Die," showcase a strong R&B influence and a collaborative spirit. Their swirling sound could easily be a soundtrack for a noir film or a '70s grindhouse flick.
