Orgone

The definition of Orgone is "a universal life force;" it's also a Los Angeles-based collective that specializes in performing soul inspired by the time that many connoisseurs believe to be the genre's golden era: the 1960s and 1970s. Primarily instrumental, but occasionally including the sultry vocals of Fanny Franklin, the collective includes in its music elements from classic R&B, afrobeat and funk. The group usually performs as a 9-piece, but because of the members' connectivity to the soul music scene, Orgone's live performances can include a large cast of guest musicians on stage, making for a live show overflowing with creativity.
