Funkadesi – Martyrs

Winner of Chicago Reader’s “Best World Music Group 2013,” Funkadesi returns to Martyrs’ for their signature Anniversary Concert! The 8-Time Award-Winning band blends Indian music (bhangra, bollywood, folk) with reggae, funk, and Afro-Caribbean grooves. The Chicago-based band’s “one-family” vibe makes for a global-groove-drenched show. Funkadesi has even caught the attention of President Barack Obama, who notes: “Funkadesi really knows how to get the crowd fired up! There’s a lot of FUNK in that DESI!”
