Carefully selected by Deano Sounds, World’s Funkiest Covers features some of the funkiest covers from around the world and throughout time. The album includes a wide range of styles including deep funk, latin soul, hard salsa, soul, afro beat, and cumbia. From the EBONY RHYTHM BAND’s deep funk cover of “Light My Fire” to the soulful version of “Purple Haze” by JOHNNY JONES AND THE KING CASUALS, the unforgettable tracks keep on coming. There’s also plenty of hard pounding salsa with RAY BARRETTO’s cover of “Pastime Paradise,” MONGO SANTAMARIA’s cover of “Cloud Nine” and WILLIAMSBURG SALSA ORCHESTRA’s cover of Spoon’s “I Turn My Camera On.” More recent artists include MIGHTY MO AND THE WINCHESTER 7 and NOSTALGIA 77 covering “The Message” and “Seven Nation Army”, respectively.
