Who's the king of intraplanetary funk?

We all know George Clinton in the king of interplanetary funk but who is the king here on earth?

Inspired by this thing I read:

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0...

that talked about some funk compilations from around the world, specifically India, Indonesia, and Nigeria.

I checked them out, here are a few songs I enjoyed:

Meri Aakhon Mein Ek Sapna Hai - Sapan Jagmohan (India)

Somebody To Love - Kalyanji Anandji (India)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DXnEcdXFVw

Saman Doye - Black Brothers (Indonesia)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lnb4TeGzGw

Do What You Like - AKA (Indonesia)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO3osux7NEE

Brand New Wayo - Mixed Grill (Nigeria)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlYdSuhydqI

Some of it sounds more psychedelic or disco than straight funk but it's all good.

Update:

I believe that AKA song is from 1970.
