SHARON JONES AND THE DAP-KINGS
With a live show reminiscent of the great Stax and Motown revues of the 60s, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are undoubtedly, the most exciting live funk and soul band, in the world today. Sharon herself possesses enough energy and onstage electricity, to power a small city, her incredible voice embodies everything that is great about rhythm and blues… in turn both raw and tender, sweet and strong – inspired by the likes of Mavis Staples, James Brown, Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin.
Her compatriots of the last ten years, the eight-strong Dap-Kings are the amongst tightest musicians that you’ll ever hear, and when they’re not touring the world with Sharon, you’ll find them in the studio with the likes of Al Green, Mark Ronson or playing on Amy Winehouse’s Grammy Award winning album “Back In Black”.
The bands’ latest album “I Learned The Hard Way” (their fourth), on their own Daptone label, was recorded exclusively on an 8-track tape machine, in order to capture that authentic deep soul sound, and is their most ambitious to date.
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have been frequent visitors to Barcelona over the years, and with local funksters The Excitments in support, this promises to be one of their biggest shows so far, so get your tickets early.
