War Artist Bio and LyricsThe multiracial funk group War was popular in the 1970s, although they continued playing together up until the year 1997.
Hailing from southern California, the group is perhaps best known for their song “Low Rider.” The band was formed in the year 1969. They had a unique sound that fused elements from rock, jazz, Latin, funk, reggae, and rhythm and blues in to their own individual style of music. What’s more, War was one of the first bands to defy racial and cultural barriers with their multicultural line up. War has sold over twenty five million units worldwide. Their lyrics tend to be angrily political, yet their music is set to a laid back, southern Californian funk vibe. It has been sampled by numerous artists, including TLC, Janet Jackson, and Korn. The band’s original line up included Eric Burdon, B.B. Dickerson, Less Oskar, Papa Dee Allen, Lonnie Jordan, Howard E. Scott, Harold Brown, and Charles Miller.
