Brown Sabbath, the wooly alter ego of the Latin ensemble Brownout, itself an offshoot of Austin, Texas’ Grupo Fantasma, was supposed to be a one night stand but turned into a very popular project that spawned an entire album of Black Sabbath covers.
Brownout bills itself as “hardcore Latin funk” and they do bring the Latin funk to Sabbath classics like Iron Man, The Wizard, and Fairies Wear Boots, seen below in a professional live video done for the Do512 Lounge Session series.
The songs are actually quite faithful to the heavy blues rock spirit of the originals, infused with a little funk and a surprisingly appropriate horn section. Check it!
