Ghost Note

An explosion of sound GHOST-NOTE arrives in Belgrade for the first time at Musicology Sessions on June 3rd at BitefArtCafe! If you think you know what funk is, think again. Ghost-Note is the kind of band that moves you before you even realize what’s happening. At the core of it all is the multi-Grammy-winning percussion duo from Snarky Puppy: Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth. The idea for their own project was born during improvised solo sections on tour and quickly evolved into a full-fledged band, less a loose collective, more a tightly devoted musical force. Around them gathers a powerhouse lineup of musicians who have collaborated with names such as Prince, Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Kendrick Lamar, Marcus Miller, Toto, Justin Timberlake, and many others. Ghost-Note pushes the boundaries of funk into the future, building on the pioneering foundations of James Brown and Sly & The Family Stone, while enriching their contemporary sound with elements of afrobeat, hip-hop, psychedelia, and global folklore. Live, Ghost-Note delivers an even more intense experience. Their shows are direct and free from the formalities often associated with the band members’ jazz roots. The focus is on dance-driven groove and an energy that erases the line between audience and performer. One thing is certain: as Sput says, it will be “positive and unapologetically funky.”
