Karate Boogaloo

Karate Boogaloo are an instrumental soul and funk group from Melbourne, appearing in London at The Jazz Cafe, a venue that hosts concerts and shows. The concert is presented under the jazz category.

Karate Boogaloo come from Melbourne's developing instrumental soul scene. The members have played funk together since childhood, starting by copying the acts they admired, among them Booker T. & the M.G.'s and the Meters.

Over time the band has built a cinematic sound of its own while keeping close to the tradition of instrumental funk and soul. A goofy sense of humour and almost twenty years of music lessons shared as friends and musical allies hold the group's playing together, giving them a fluent common language built up over countless hours of playing side by side.

The Jazz Cafe is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows. This date places the band in a room suited to instrumental music, where listeners interested in funk, soul and jazz can hear how the group's original style works in a live setting.
