War was a multicultural
American funk band of the 1970s from
California, known for the hit songs "
Low Rider", "
Spill the Wine" and "
Why Can't We Be Friends?". Formed in
1969, War was the first and most successful musical crossover, fusing elements of
rock,
funk,
jazz,
Latin music,
R&B, and even
reggae. The band also transcended racial and cultural barriers with a multi-
ethnic line-up. The band's diverse musical influences have made it an enduring influence, one that has sold nearly 25 million records to date. Although War's lyrics are often socio-political in nature, their music usually had a laid-back,
California funk vibe. The music has been sampled and recorded by many singers and groups, ranging from
Janet Jackson to
Korn to
TLC.
