On the weekend of August 18-19, Badd Kitti had the honor of performing with Neftali “Funkadrill” Santiago, the legendary drummer from the iconic funk band, Mandrill. The concert, entitled “Funkadrill’s Mandrill Experience – The Road to Love”, highlighted classics from Mandrill’s heyday from 1971-1977, as well as new music from Funkadrill himself.

In this episode, Badd Kitti pays tribute to Funkadrill, playing his most legendary contributions to Mandrill, as well as featuring his previously unreleased tracks,  recorded over a period of 30 years, from 1975 to 2005.

Funkadrill’s “Road to Love” marks the last time Mandrill’s music will be performed by an oriinal member of Mandrill. The influential drummer plans to relaunch his solo career, releasing new music in early 2024, as well as the “Road to Love” documentary which will premiere on Netflix early next year.
