Fùnké
Conjured from the watery crossroads of the Mississippi and Wolf River, Funke blends a hypnotic brew of Ancestral, Deep, Afro House, Broken Beat and Global Soul. Memphis native and Bulbancha based, Funke sees the dance oor as a sacred container that holds everything from the joys to the woes and uses the healing power of music as a vehicle to move out of our minds and in our spirits. Funke's talent has landed her at events such as Essence Festival, Bembe, Soul N Conga, The Atlanta Weekender, Detroit Movement, Art Basel, Excursions, Funkboxx, Afrique Electrique and more. Funke has made waves alongside Osunlade, Carlos Mena, DJ Kemit, Ash Lauryn, DJ Beloved, Rafael Moraes, Kai Alce, Ezel, Tony Touch, Ladymonix, Salah Ananse, Rahaan, Marcus Vogel, Recloose, Doc Martin, Bassnectar, Stefan Ringer, DJ Minx, King Britt, Jihad Muhammad, Rich Medina, SHYBOI, Sabine Blaizin, Grupo Fantasma, Ife, Sierra Leone Refugee Allstars and Seun Kuti & Egypt 80. As co-curator with Tiffani Sheriff, Funke hosts IDAPO: A Spiritual Activation through Dance & Fellowship which highlights International DJ Acts from the African Diaspora with artists such as Sabine Blaizin, Ezel, Kai Alce and others.
