Cha Wa - My People on CD

Description

'My People' exuberantly infuses contemporary sounds with the music of street parades and the Mardi Gras Indian community a group of black New Orleanians who pay respect to native American tribes their wardrobe, music and dialect. Packed with a vivid assemblage of New Orleans sounds and stories, this collection of new original songs draws from the grooves of '70s New Orleans funk bands like The Meters (particularly on offerings like 'Wildman' and 'Bow Down') and takes clear influence from the city's history of brass band music, jazz, R&B, hip-hop, rock, soul and African-inspired arrangements (including a chilling cover of Bob Dylan's 'Masters of War' in this style).
