Formed on Staten Island two decades ago, The Budos Band (Daptone Records) has forged an unbreakable musical bond among its nine members. Drawing on Afro-soul, Ethio-jazz, and deep funk roots, their sound has remained consistent across five studio albums and fiery shows on four continents. With a reputation that transcends musical genres, their tracks have been sampled by the likes of Panic! At The Disco, Black Eyed Peas, and Earthgang. They’ve won over a huge audience, and are celebrated by peers from all backgrounds, including Madonna, Iggy Pop, and the Wu-Tang Clan. Frantic, irresistible funk!
