Foreign Phunk

Funk without the American passport. British bassplayers who learned from Bootsy and took it somewhere else, a Guyanese collective that became hip-hop's most sampled secret, a French-disco singer who taught Luther Vandross how to phrase. The one doesn't belong to any country. The pocket is the only citizenship that matters here.
