“Funky America 9/38” by the Zenbunny collective is a compelling musical commentary on America’s conditions and highlights American life and aspirations for positive change during an election year. Composed and arranged by Richard Berger, with Solomon Hamburg on Gibson and Fender guitars, the song delves deep into the collective consciousness, urging for change and renewal.
From the onset, “Funky America 9/38” sets a mesmerizing tone with a distorted buzz beneath a mystical, hypnotic electric guitar allure. As the music transitions into a funky groove, we are drawn into the rhythmic pulse of the percussive backbeat, nodding our heads in sync with the infectious groove. The sultry and hypnotic delivery of the singer, accompanied by his thick and deep vocals, adds depth and sincerity to the message, compelling us to engage with his words.
Influenced by the likes of Creedence Clearwater and John Philip Sousa, the Zenbunny collective infuses their music with some funky Americana while also embracing rock and contemporary sounds and themes. The result is a blend of nostalgia and modernity, symbolizing the American experience in the 21st century.
Notably, this year’s work from the Zenbunny collective reflects a dedication to environmental and social responsibility, elevating it beyond mere entertainment to a platform for meaningful dialogue and reflection.
Now it’s time to look out for touring dates to drop because Zenbunny collective is coming to tour around the Great Lakes and Banff, Canada, from May to mid-2025. So keep listening to “Funky America 9/38” and never stop hoping!
