Funk BPM — Typical Tempo Range

Funk grooves at 100 to 130 BPM, with the emphasis on the "one" beat creating its distinctive rhythmic pocket. Pioneered by James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic, funk remains foundational to modern music.

• Strong emphasis on the downbeat ("the one")
• Syncopated bass lines driving the groove
• Rhythmic guitar and keyboard patterns
• Horn sections and call-and-response vocals
