Yoshi's Oakland & The A-List Musiq Circle Present Con Funk Shun -Home for Christmas.
Hosted by Comedian, MO-JONES.
Join us this Pre-Christmas Eve as we deliver holiday funk & cheer aboard the love train with Bay Area's favorite Funk and R&B band, CONFUNKSHUN, performing all their classic hitz and new music from their forthcoming CD "HOME FOR CHRISTMAS". Presented by Mark Elliott & The A-List Musiq Circle.
Con Funk Shun is a star-quality attraction delivering a superb, high-energy show with electrifying choreography, glistening six-part vocal harmonies, and a dash of humor. They are, unquestionably, among the heroes of funk with romantic ballads and dance-party hits galore. Memorable melodies, inventive horn arrangements and clav-guitar woven grooves, make the group absolutely essential to the evolution of funk. They charted four consecutive Gold and one Platinum album. Their 20 hit singles included 8 Top Ten R&B Hits and one #1 R&B smash between '77-'86. With finesse and consistency they legitimized what came following them: high-profile, commercial explosions featuring their hits in countless rap/hip-hop samples, exposed them to a new generation, now in their thirties. In response, Mercury/Polygram released the Best of Con Funk Shun in '93 on their "Funk Essentials" Series. The fans immediately recoiled to the “Essential to Funk”, Con Funk Shun. Universal bought Polygram, and again released the sure-thing Money-Maker, Best Of Con Funk Shun on their Millennium Collection in March 2002. This year Confunkshun has embarked on a new journey with their "Road to 50 Series" beginning with the recording of their first Christmas CD ever called "Home for Christmas".
