funk groove
Bass-driven rhythmic feel
A funk groove is the rhythmic foundation of funk music—a tight, syncopated pattern where bass, drums, and guitar lock together to create an insistent, danceable feel.
The groove emphasizes the downbeat and spaces between notes as much as the notes themselves: The band locked into a nasty funk groove and rode it for ten minutes.
Outside music, funk groove can describe any situation with infectious energy or rhythm.
