"Back to Ta Funk" is the second album by Yuts and Culture. The Apulian band returns to the music scene with a work that includes 12
songs, two of which are entirely instrumental, exploring sounds that range from Soul, to Funk, to Jazz and Reggae. The album draws
inspiration from the vibrant funk sounds of the 70s, reinterpreting them in a modern and current key. "Back to Ta Funk" is a journey of
rebirth and spiritual transformation, where music becomes the means to explore and rediscover oneself. The title alludes to a return to
the roots and the original groove, but with a new awareness, matured through lived experiences and deep reflections. The project presents itself as a reinterpretation of the past, enriched by a renewed vision and a more intimate connection with the artistic essence of
the band. Music becomes a universal language that unites past and present, tradition and innovation.
"Back to ma Funk" is not only a tribute to the origins, but an expression of personal evolution, in which the return to funk becomes a
symbol of authenticity and spiritual rebirth. It is an invitation to rediscover what makes us unique and to dance in the rhythm of life with
a new light.
