Bio
..Alpacas are a 9-piece funk collective hailing from Louvain, Belgium. Reminiscent of the works of S.O.U.L., James Brown, Curtis Mayfield and a lot of others, their musical stylings echo with the contagious rhythms, smooth horns and infectious percussion breaks that were the trademarks of the '60's and 70's funk movement. Since their inception in 2007, Alpacas have established themselves as one of Louvain's "must-see" local acts. Apart from their solo gigs, they had the honour of sharing the stages with Mulatu Astatke, Poets of Rhythm (Sojo Club), Lefties Soul Connection, Quantic Soul Orchestra (Het Depot), Budos Band (Trix) and Reverend Cleatus & The Soul Saviours (Paris). .. ..For bookings: funkyalpacas@yahoo.com .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .."INNER CITY BLUES" (Marvin Gaye-Rueben Wilson Mash Up) ..LIVE AT HET DEPOT | SAT 22.03.08| .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Alpacas - live at Colora Festival, Leuven 2009 - part 1.. from ..AlpacasMusic.. on ..Vimeo..... .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Alpacas - live at Colora Festival July 2009 - part 2.. from ..AlpacasMusic.. on ..Vimeo..... -
