Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'funk' names a rhythmic music style and 'vibe' means an atmosphere or mood, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer an atmosphere characterized by funk. This noun+noun compounding follows regular English patterns and is therefore predictable and transparent to learners.
Etymology
Funk vibe comes from the music style funk, known for a strong bass and steady beat that makes people want to move, and the word vibe, which means the mood or feeling in a place. So funk vibe now means 'a lively and rhythmic atmosphere'.
