Strangely enough, an afro-beat band from Finland!! Why not? Rhythm Funk Masters combine elements from different music styles like jazz, funk and rock with what we traditionally think of as afro-beat. The mixture is breathtaking, buttmoving and illuminating.

Rhythm Funk Masters (f. 2003) are a tight 8-piece combo quaranteed to make any audience move, swing and dance till they sweat. The debut album "Afro-American-Arctic" (Daimondi) was released in 2007. As the title promises, the music is a combination of afrobeat, funk and some Nordic influences. All compositions are by keyboardist Jukka Heikkinen. Both compositions and musicianship are world-class.

The top notch musicians of Rhythm Funk Masters have come together from various backgrounds, so musical paths sometimes take the band somewhere where they never thought they would end-up in. Jamming and improvising are self-evident ingredients every time they perform. The only requirement is not to compromise the precense of hot afrofunk.
