JESSE'S JING / M.T.A.

Debut 45 from San Diego's In Motion Collective. Heavy, danceable Afro-beat in the same vein with groups like Ikebe Shakedown, Budos Band, and Antibalas. Motion Collective delivers a powerful and eclectic blend of instrumental funk. With attention to authenticity, In Motion draws from a myriad of influence ranging from West African afrobeat and highlife to Ethiopian jazz and funk, as well as Cuban salsa and timba. Formed as a trio in 2009, the group has morphed into a 10-piece, horn-heavy powerhouse that is guaranteed to excite the dancefloor.
