With a large, rotating cast of characters, Los Angeles-based Breakestra has brought hip-hop history full circle. Inspired by the drum breaks within the classic funk and soul songs that became the sampled beats of hip-hop, this group of accomplished musicians quickly earned fans by combining live, funky instrumentation with full-bodied soul vocals and heavy-hitting raps. Jeremy Sole, of Thursday night’s Afro Funké party, will be spinning the pre-recorded jams throughout the course of this KCRW-presented party.
