Le Grind is a funk dance band: music made for bodies, not for chairs.
The group is built around a core of four musicians: Romain Piot (drums), Vincent Benoist (bass), Rachid Guissous (keyboards) and Claude Whipple (vocals, guitar). The format is expandable: horns, backing vocals, it grows depending on the occasion.
Influences include Prince, Cameo and Curtis Mayfield: funk that sweats, smiles and grooves.
The idea is simple: make you dance, make you wiggle, let the dance floor fill up. Le Grind plays venues, festivals and private events.
