WOMADelaide 2014 - Osaka Monaurail

Japan’s funkiest orchestra takes its lead, unashamedly, from James Brown. Ryo Nakata drops into the splits and howls a soulful scream while his sharp suited 8-piece band purrs like a high-performance soul machine. Deriving its name from the JB’s 1975 funk hit, Osaka Monaurail celebrated its 20-year anniversary with its first North American tour in 2012.

These guys are the cream of the Funk in its purest JB form... they are consummate musicians I am fortunate to have seen them on several occasions... massive RESPECT from a fellow classic funk musician !

[@RavenCammenga]

Saw them in the Netherlands, i really enjoyed how the crowd starts off slow and the longer they are on stage the more that are dancing, u can see it here as well. really good performance artists. !

[@gawpertron]

Need a better OB Sound Engineer, what's the thin sound in all these live vids!?

[@gawpertron]

+gawpertron ... would it hurt putting up one ambient mic? At least!

[@Whammoth]

+gawpertron To be fair, it probably sounded awesome there. No ambient mic is ever actually needed.. Think of how it might have sounded through the PA in that open space.

[@melrussell8736]

Do they play any Originals? or do they just play Covers?

[@NightshiftinTokyo]

ちょっと理屈っぽ過ぎやしないだろうか
