Boukou Groove – Grammy-Nominated Musicians Bringing NOLA Soul Funk Worldwide.
Boukou Groove infuses New Orleans’ soul and funk traditions into an electrifying blend of deep grooves, soulful vocals, and world-class musicianship. Led by Grammy-nominated artists Donnie Sundal (vocals, keyboards, Moog bass) and Derwin “Big D” Perkins (guitar), the band’s signature sound combines swampy Moog bass, wailing keys, and sharp funk guitar. Formed in 2010, the lineup expands with talented musicians such as Traylin Gastone (drums, vocals) and Ben Parsons (guitar, vocals), while maintaining a consistently unmistakable groove.
Boukou Groove’s albums, including A Lil’ Boukou in Your Cup (2012), Let The Groove Ride (2015), and Groovin’ (2023), showcase their dynamic chemistry. Hits like “Two To Tango,” featuring Jon Cleary, have earned over 1.7 million Spotify streams, and “Stay Broke” was named Song of the Year by Japan’s InterFM.
The band’s high-energy live shows have earned spots at prestigious festivals like the North Sea Jazz Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and Blue Note Tokyo. With a new album in the works and a recent European tour fueling anticipation, Boukou Groove is set to keep the groove alive worldwide. Catch them live and feel the funk!
