Mifune May 1, 2008

Mifune is a live Afro-electronique ensemble. Formed as a composers collective in 2004. Mifune pushes boundaries in both the live and recorded mediums.With a seamless amalgamation of Nigerian Afro-Beat, Europeanand American popular styles and intelligent dance grooves,Mifune creates a thought provoking, positive sound. The Chicago Afrobeat Project is a dynamic musical collective rooted in '70s funk and jazz-infused afrobeat. Hailing from the Windy City, CAbP brings a new interpretation to afrobeat by blending it with other dance-invoking musical motifs such as Chicago's electronic house music, complex West African percussion rhythms and upbeat funk. Today, the ever-morphing 7- to 14-piece CAbP consists of a full percussion section, a full horn section, keys, guitar, bass and African dancers (at select shows) - and is still growing.
