funk band
Rhythm-heavy musical group
A funk band is a musical group that plays funk—a genre rooted in rhythmic, groove-driven music with syncopated bass lines, tight horn sections, and emphasis on the downbeat.
The term evokes the classic ensembles of the 1970s like Parliament-Funkadelic and Earth, Wind & Fire: We hired a funk band for the wedding reception.
