Ever since they relocated to Fort Collins from Iowa City in August of 2008, Eufórquestra has been a driving force in Colorado's music scene. From their debut release, Explorations In Afrobeat, to their follow-up concoction, Soup and most recent release, Fire, Eufórquestra continues to thrive while morphing and funkifying their style and sound.
Now, Colorado’s funk powerhouse drops a fresh anthemic tune, “Colorado Kicked.” Recorded and mixed at Killion Sound in North Hollywood, CA with Orgone’s Sergio Rios, the track is the first in a series from this session to be released.
Keyboardist, Matt Wright, took Euforquestra’s long-time positive message into his writing. “I set out to write something short and in-your-face, an instrumental rallying cry that says, ‘Let's do this!’ I think we achieved that with 'Colorado Kicked.' It was great to record at Killion Sound, the home base of one of our favorite modern funk bands, Orgone. The vintage gear and intimate setting helped give the track a raw, gritty quality - definitely the vibe the song calls for.”
Enjoy the tune, below.
