Artist: The Funk Ark 

Album: From the Rooftops 

Label: ESL Music 

Genre: Funk, R&B 

Comments: The Funk Ark is a world funk ensemble based in the heart of Washington, D.C. Their debut album delivers a healthy dose of vintage Afrobeat, Latin, and wordless funk stylings that were big in the '60s and '70s. Recalling the best of Afrika 70, the JB's and the Fania Allstars all at once, The Funk Ark is a good place to quell all those booty-shaking/vintage groove needs.

The entire album is great, but I'd stick with tracks 1, 4, 7 and 10.
