Editor's note

War's funk, R&B, and Latin rhythms from Long Beach

A California band whose 'Low Rider' became a Chicano car culture anthem.

For their range, listen to 'Spill The Wine' and 'World Is A Ghetto.' That's where their mix of styles really lands.

War's 1971 self-titled album gave us 'Low Rider,' a track that soundtracked a whole cultural movement. Their sound wasn't just one thing, it mixed funk, R&B, rock, and Latin rhythms on songs like 'Spill The Wine' and 'World Is A Ghetto.' That blend made them a go-to sample source for hip-hop artists later on.

They started as an R&B group called The Nightshift in late-1960s Long Beach. The 1970s brought albums like 'The World Is a Ghetto' in 1972 and 'Why Can't We Be Friends?' in 1975, with lineup changes continuing over the years.
