  • Multi-national R&B/Funk/Latin group, based in Los Angeles, California. Evolved from a group of musicians previously known as “The Creators”, the “Romeos”, “Señor Soul” and “Nightshift”, and who played the L.A. club circuit. They were discovered and promoted by Jerry Goldstein who linked up the musicians with frontman and vocalist Eric Burdon and harmonica player Lee Oskar. In 1970 they released their first album, “Eric Burdon Declares War”. After Burdon departed in 1971, the group continued performing and recording as War.
dbo:abstract
  • The Lowrider Band (originally called Eric Burdon and War and formerly known as War) is an American funk band from Long Beach, California, known for the hit songs %22Slippin' Into Darkness%22, %22Low Rider%22, %22Spill the Wine%22, %22Summer%22, %22Why Can't We Be Friends?%22, %22The Cisco Kid%22, and %22The World Is a Ghetto%22. Formed in 1969, War was a musical crossover band which fused elements of rock, funk, jazz, Latin, rhythm and blues, and reggae. The band also transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-ethnic line-up. War was also subject to many line-up changes over the course of its formation, leaving member Leroy %22Lonnie%22 Jordan as the only original member in the current line-up.Although War's lyrics are often socio-political in nature, their music usually had a laid-back, California funk vibe. A particular feature of War's sound is the use of harmonica and saxophone playing melody lines in unison, sounding like a single instrument, for example in the melody of %22Low Rider%22. The music has been sampled and recorded by many singers and groups, ranging from R&B/pop singers such as Janet Jackson to nu metal band Korn and hip hop groups like TLC and A$AP Mob.
