“By far, one of the hottest funk bands on the planet.” Marva Whitney, Soul Sister #1 

With their sharp suits, synchronised routines, and powerful horn section, Osaka Monaurail have been exuberantly filling dancefloors across the globe. 

Very special guests joining Osaka’s charismatic frontman Ryo Nakata for the tour are James Brown’s saxman, Waldo Weathers and Florida’s dynamic King Of Funk Rickey Calloway.

“Each well-timed move thrilled the excited crowd... the dance floor was a mass of funk converts unable to stop themselves dancing feverishly to the explosive rhythmic energy that Osaka Monaurail generated.” Upside 

As well as some storming originals, funk fans can anticipate workouts on tunes by Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, The Temptations, Isaac Hayes, Rufus Thomas and of course, the godfather of soul, James Brown.

“Nakata does not disappoint with his contagious energy, smiles or cheeky grins... A bitchin’ night of Japanese funk!” Matrix Barcelona

We acknowledge that this event will be held on Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
