Description:
Hailing from Madrid, Spain, The Sweet Vandals are a key part of the 2000s European funk revival. On “What’s Going On”, they channel the classic late-’60s/early-’70s soul-funk sound with tight horn stabs, wah-wah guitar riffs, and a punchy rhythm section. The B-side, “Do It Right”, keeps the energy high, showcasing the band’s live, analog-driven groove and commitment to authentic funk instrumentation.
Legacy & Influence:
Celebrated in the European funk scene, The Sweet Vandals have become favorites among DJs and collectors for their faithful recreation of vintage funk and soul. Their Madrid roots bring a distinctive European perspective to a genre traditionally associated with U.S. soul, demonstrating how live, analog-driven funk can resonate across cultures and decades.
