WAR

They were one of the most popular funk groups to emerge from '70s, and also one of the most eclectic, freely melding soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and rock influences into an effortlessly funky whole. Although WAR’s lyrics were sometimes political in nature, their music almost always had a sunny, laid-back vibe. The band also transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up. Their hits still resonate: "Low Rider,” "Spill the Wine,” "Summer,” "Why Can't We Be Friends?,” "The Cisco Kid” and "The World Is a Ghetto.” Contact : Gallo Center Phone : 209-338-2100 Email : Web Site : galloarts.org
