The DC Funk Parade is a celebration of the District's music, art, and culture. In partnership with Deloitte Digital, a creative consultancy, the "Boombox Walk" app was designed and built by the people, for the people.
Music, especially funk, is a convening force. This app puts that connection in people’s hands—literally. It allows participants to select a boombox with a single sound, then sync with others who can choose an alternate rhythm. The result is a massive musical collaboration on the streets of the Nation's Capital.
Imagine thousands of DC locals from all walks of life, jamming out as they walk down historic U Street to music they are making…together.
How to participate:
• Download the app
• Choose a custom boombox and sound
• Find a friend (or make a new one) with a different boombox selection
• Push play and make music together!
Features:
• 8 boomboxes designed by local DC artists
• 8 tracks composed by DC musician, Alex Braden
• Automatic sync to other Boombox Walk apps
