A Lighter Shade of Brown – Spill the Wine For the curious ear, the funky bass line belongs to War's “Smile Happy.” And if that sounds familiar, it because years later Shaggy used it again to propel his chart topping hit “It Wasn't Me.”Ĩ. Further down the track listing he summoned War for “Ya Estuvo.” It showcases Frost as a dynamic bilingual rapper beyond his rap radio smash single. Kid Frost used the smooth bass line of El Chicano's “Viva Tirado” for the hit “La Raza” off his 1990 debut Hispanic Causing Panic. The chorus soulfully beams with “Slippin' into Darkness,” a War classic for the ages. Case in point: Chicano Rap pioneers the Funky Aztecs tell grim barrio tales with 2pac taking over at the end. When morphed into hip-hop, the mutual affection both communities have for the band plays out with collaborations over sampled songs. War is the ultimate black and brown unity sound.

It comes as no surprise that hip-hop producers and artists dug into the crates over decades to sample from the War. Jordan calls the concoction “universal street music” and it has withstood the test of time now enjoying a multi-generational appeal. Looking back at their acclaimed body of work, the LA-bred band created a living legacy by mixing genres with funk. This Friday is no different, save for War low riding into Anaheim armed with Evolutionary their first studio album in 20 years since 1994's Peace Sign. The Christmas season in in full-swing, New Year's Eve is just around the corner, and the legendary band War is coming to funk up Anaheim! For the past few years, the classic sounds of singer/keyboardist Lonnie Jordan and crew echo through the walls of the City National Grove after the holidays.
