Listen to the funky sounds of Plunky, a member of the Afro-Funk group Oneness of Juju in an a recent interview and career retrospective as one of the pioneers of merging American jazz/soul with African music. As a saxophonist, he is one of the most renowned figures in this obscure musical genre which takes influences from Nigerian Juju music, the American soul of James Brown and 70's jazz fusion. Plunky is a great example of an artist who carved his own creative niche of musical expression based on the desire to express his own beliefs of society and take a strong reach to observe other world cultures, which you will learn about, hear in the music and hopefully be inspired by in this radio interview.

If you listen to hip hop and are unfamiliar with the music of Oneness Of Juju, some of the producers who have turned to Plunky's original Afro-Funk style are Jay Dee (African Rhythms) and Oh No (Oh No vs. Oneness of Juju). I can say with confidence that the music of Plunky and his sources of inspiration have brought a new touch of funk to hip hop sound, through producers who have chosen to take the reach toward this genre.
