Fernando Rosa - Funkin' for Jamaica I Analogue by Qwest TV

Watch Fernando's full session for FREE on QwestTV+ videos.qwest.t...
Hailing from Brazil, Fernando Rosa is one of the bass guitar scene’s finest new discoveries. With a passion for funk and disco, he first gained attention thanks to his inspired covers of Chic's overpowering anthem “Good Times” and James Brown’s emblematic track “Funky Drummer.” It comes as no surprise, then, that the Brazilian funkateer has cultivated a particularly organic approach. Far from the insipid R&B of the early 2000s, the South American bassist reinterprets the visionary compositions of Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins in the name of a single term: groove.
Le Claque studio in Paris was a natural choice for Rosa’s Analogue session. The musician kicks things off with “Funkin' For Jamaica,” a cover of trumpeter Tom Browne. This tightly-structured track echoes Stevie Wonder's “Boogie on Reggae Woman,” particularly in its breaking down of barriers between genres. The powerful track “A Night to Remember” rounds things off beautifully, highlighting Rosa’s unbridled passion for backing vocals and club culture. Finally, “Summer Lover” (an original composition by Rosa) complements the performance as a whole, combining complex playing with deep rhythms: fans are strongly advised.
