Funk as it came to be known, was a musical concoction based on several different musical styles such as Soul, Jazz and R&B. For the first time, melody and harmony took a back seat. Focusing instead on a central rhythmic groove. Interweaving rhythms were complemented with a single riff or a vamp based on a single chord. Traditionally speaking Funk music featured instruments such as Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums and Organ. The inclusion of a horn section also became extremely common in Funk music.

Musicians from outside New Orleans would soon learn to adapt these rhythmic methods and to incorporate these in the development of funk music. Most notably
