Funk Embassy returns with the second volume that includes 11 tracks from 1973-1984. Some hide meaning between lines, others offer solace on the dancefloor. It's an ongoing journey to uncover these jewels and meet their makers. Majority of the tunes will be released for the first time. The 12-inch comes with a 30-page booklet that provides background stories and quotes from the artists.The 'Groove of ESSR' project has garnered attention around the globe. From the first volume released in 2019, tracks were picked up by Gilles Peterson, Mehmet Aslan, Zag Erlat, and DJ Tahira to name a few. During the production of this album, two of the most influential figures in Estonian funk and soul passed on: Marju 'Maryn' Kuut (1946-2022) and Tonu Aare (1953-2021). We dedicate this album to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Groove of Essr II: Funk Soul Disco \u0026 Jazz From","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39968811089991,"sku":"43381319","price":47.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/groove-of-essr-ii-funk-soul-disco-jazz-from-groove-of-essr-ii-funk-soul-disco-jazz-from-estonia-various","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
