Canadian as Funk

Canadian as Funk

Groove runs deep in the Great White North. Canadian As Funk is a powerhouse collection of homegrown funk, soul, R&B, and everything in between—from sweaty dancefloor burners to smooth soul ballads. These are the artists who brought the rhythm, the horns, the basslines, and the undeniable swagger to Canadian music. Whether it’s rare 45s, crossover hits, or deep cuts with serious pocket, this room proves that Canada can funk with the best of them.
