Veranstaltungsdetails
Funk,Soul I Concert
The inventors of "Le Funck Fédéral" have released over 160 of their own songs since 1993, constantly refining their art and remaining true to themselves. The seven-piece formation GMF Pure has been playing together constantly since the 90s. Singer Rich Fonje has been with the band for over 20 years.
The first CD "Grand Mother's Funck" hit like a bomb in 1994, and eleven more were to follow over the years. In 1996, GMF stormed the US college charts with their second album "Please Baby Please Baby Baby Baby Please", resulting in fan clubs in Japan and the Bahamas. The single "Call Me" was a hit on DRS3 and catapulted the band onto all the big festival stages and into every party cellar in Switzerland and the surrounding countries.
For the album "The Proud Egyptian", they brought cult rapper Akil the MC, the creative head of Jurassic 5 from Los Angeles, on board and went on a three-year concert tour with him. Selected tracks from the production "Take The Money" appeared on samplers on the Dutch DJ label "Breakbeat Paradise". And the 12th studio album "The Big Pie" was released in the middle of the first corona lockdown and immediately reached number 3 in the Swiss album charts.
For 30 years, Grand Mother's Funck have been rummaging through the rich fund of African-American music genres and skillfully absorbing everything that serves their goal: to create music from which there is no escape.
For the 2023/24 anniversary, GMF are offering the special formation 30 Years Reunion Show (GMF 30YRS). GMF's original trombonist Bernhard Bamert (The James Brown Tribute Show) is back and reinforces frontman Bean! in the horn section - with Stephan "Stief" Schneider, another founding member is on board and pimps up the already juicy GMF sound with unconventional tones from his Hammond Leslie. And as an absolute highlight, we welcome GMF's first female singer, Yasmine Tamara! Her powerful voice can be heard on the 1998 album "Working Live!" and took the band to a new level of energy, then as now.
