"What do you want to do?"
"Nothing man, let's just chill."
"Alright, I got the ideal music for that."
Welcome to the land of Bonobo, the funky monkey. The land of the ideal chill-out music. And yes, it really is the ideal chill-out music. It’s the kind of music, where you're talking to your friend but still moving to the music. The lull in the conversation is when you become aware of the music. And that lull becomes infinite. No words escape your mouth as you absorb in the bassy tones of Bonobo.
Simon Green, better known for his stage name of Bonobo, is a contemporary in this type of sound. Having been in the music scene for the past 12 years, he has released 4 studio albums and various singles. Collaborating with various singers, every song has its own unique feel. While playing live, he is accompanied by full band with him on bass.
The songs are characteristic of heavy baselines, blues - jazz tones, and fluidic movement on percussions. We move, we flow and we become funky monkeys. Welcome to the land of Bonobo.
