O'Funk'illo

About

O'Funk'illo aren't just playing funk; they're weaponizing it. Hailing from Seville, Spain, this collective detonates a potent cocktail of funk, rock, and flamenco, creating a sound so distinctly Andalusian it practically tastes of sunshine and sherry. Imagine George Clinton kidnapped by Paco de Lucía, and you're halfway there. Formed in the late '90s, O'Funk'illo initially honed their raw, high-energy performances in local clubs before exploding onto the national scene with albums like "No Te Cabe Na" and "En el Planeta Aseituna." Their music, characterized by Vicky Luna's powerful vocals, Andreas Lutz's raspy delivery and Pepe Bao's virtuosic bass, is not just technically impressive but infused with a satirical, often irreverent, sense of humor. They've cultivated a fiercely loyal fanbase through relentless touring and a refusal to compromise their artistic vision. More than just a band, O'Funk'illo is a cultural phenomenon, a testament to the power of blending tradition with unapologetic funk swagger. They continue to push boundaries, with recent performances hinting at a deeper exploration of their flamenco roots, proving that even after two decades, O'Funk'illo remains a vital force in the Spanish music scene.
