Soul glo is a crew of 8 talented funk members from Melbourne who have plenty of heart and soul. Stepping into Veludo Bar I felt I was taken to another world. Dancers were grooving away on the dance floor and the 8 members somehow fitted onto a very small stage! The female singer, Stunning Diva Davis (who was wearing a fantastic outfit and I loved her shoes!!!), was in the middle of the stage, singing her heart out surrounded by some hunky men. First set started with an instrumental song followed by colourful tunes like ‘kiss my neck’ ‘what have you done for me lately’ and carwash’. The horn section was a pleasure to watch as they were all smiles and totally enjoying the music they produce. Audience members were dancing away enthralled by the groovy music. Afro Centric Dave Dharumasena is the second vocalist with a deep melodic voice which suited the sound.
The second and third set consisted of tunes such as ‘ain’t no other woman’ ‘right on’ ‘Valerie’ and ‘dance with me’. One gets the impression that there could be no one in the room and Soul Glo would have an awesome time. They gel together and create the perfect mix of funk and groove.
Watching the band play together you feel like you are taken on a ride of a funky and groovy lifetime. They are playing around Melbourne in the next few months so check them out!
