ESSO Funk Biography
ESSO Funk (aka ¡ESSO! Afrojam Funkbeat) is a dynamic global music ensemble from Chicago IL. They perform a variety of roots rock inspired dance music from North, Central, and South America. Their music establishes energizing polyrhythmic grooves and combine biting twang guitars, thumping bass, with the strength of brass horns, group singing, and urban poetry.
Band members: Armando (guitar), Kevin (sax), Dan (drums), Diana (vocal), Puerko (perc), Jess Anzaldua (perc), Matt (bass/trombone/flute), and Luis (poet) all bring a vital contribution to the band's unique "afrojam funkbeat" sound. Inspired by Chicago's soulful blues, jazzy house, and global fusion heavyweights, the group deliver their performances with purpose and verve; unifying listeners through sound and dance.
¡ESSO! was awarded "Best New Band," and "Best World/International Music Act" by the Chicago Reader's Poll in 2016. The band continue to perform and relase new music on all platforms to critical acclaim nationwide.
