Free Nationals - Indigenous to the Funk [Documentary]

The sun-bleached concrete and sandy beaches have inspired many an artist to come to Los Angeles, but for those born here, it soaks through their music in a more pervasive manner. One band, masters of the washed out guitars and groovy bass, has risen as the leaders of the new LA sound -- the Free Nationals. After years spent toiling away in the LA underground, building alongside Shafiq Husayn, Mac Miller, and Thundercat, then touring the globe extensively as Anderson .Paak's musical support, and now a Grammy Nomination, the Free Nationals are finally here to take their rightful place in their city's pantheon, and bring the funk that flows through them to the world. This is their story. Listen to the album "Free Nationals" out now!
