The first full-length album from Djembe Funk is out today. I’m a little biased because I play drums on two of the tracks, but I think it’s awesome. Kelly Kintner (the brains behind the funk) called on some of his favorite musicians (Dino DiMuro, John from Voodoo Planet, and the LaLaLettes) and put the album together in the space of a month, giving the project a sense of fun and urgency. It’s been great corresponding with Kelly over the past month as he’s worked on the music — and a privilege to be playing on this album alongside so many musicians I’ve admired for years.

It’s quite superbly bonkers. I love bonkers.
Bonkers is good!
Congrats, Marc, I had no idea you also play drums. Djembe Funk is an all-new artist to me. He sounds pretty cool!
Thanks! If you like Djembe Funk, you might also like his other project, The Kintners, which consists of Kelly and his wife Keri.
What an interesting concept album with lots of musical styles and influences, and your drumming is stellar. It’s great to see so many independent artists from across the country collaborate on works like this, and I also approve of the Trump bashing!
Trump bashing is always appropriate!
