What type of music is funky music?

Funky music is a music genre rooted in African American culture that emerged in the mid-1960s. Funk is characterized by its reliance on strong, repetitive rhythms, played by bass, drums, and keyboard. It often features syncopated rhythms, horn sections, and prominent use of call and response vocals. Bass lines are often complex, with slap and pop techniques used to create a more rhythmic and groovy feel. Funk is an energetic and upbeat style of music that often carries elements of R&B, jazz, and soul music.
