Jungle Fire is an explosive, large-format ensemble hailing from Los Angeles, renowned for their signature, genre-blending style they call “TropiFunk.” Formed in 2011, the band is built on a foundation of multiple percussionists and a powerful horn section, creating a sound that masterfully digs deep into Afrobeat, Latin Funk, and Psychedelic Rock. Drawing heavy inspiration from pioneers like James Brown, Fela Kuti, Ray Barretto, and Irakere, Jungle Fire creates a high-energy melting pot of Afro-Caribbean and West African rhythms with a heavy breakbeat funk that is engineered for the dance floor. The band’s critically acclaimed albums, including Tropicoso and Jambú, reflect the diverse, multicultural sounds of L.A. and have led to their music being featured in films and TV shows, solidifying their reputation as a powerhouse live act.
