Earth, Wind & Fire Experience feat. Al McKay play Avo Session

Synopsis

When front man Maurice White shakes his booty, it’s just as hip as it was back at the beginning of his career in 1969. He may not shake it as fast, but he still does it with the same elegance, flexibility and energy as always. His secret is the sound that he produces with the band he founded: Earth, Wind & Fire. It’s so hot, that you can’t sit still when they play eternal hits like 'September', 'Let’s Groove' or 'Fantasy'. Funky beats, razor-sharp horns, grooving bass and a driving rhythm guitar are the elements, combined with a dazzling stage show and sensational choreography, that the band have brought to sheer perfection for more than 40 years. Often unfairly labelled a vile disco band by music purists, upon closer inspection, the band’s high musical quality and precision, which is exemplary in the genre, is unmistakeable.
