Cha Wa is a funky band different from the others because it is closely intertwined with the ancient traditions of the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans.

Raye is one of the most followed streaming artists in the world, with over 3 billion listens. Her new album, “My 21st Century Blues” is a deeply personal work of thirteen songs, touching on all the themes.

Dumpstaphunk is simply one of the funkiest bands out of the Crescent City.

Alongside Tony Hall, Nick Daniels, Alex Wasily, John Michael Bradford and Deven Trusclair, cousins Ivan and Ian Neville have built upon their family’s iconic New Orleans legacy as they’ve transformed Dumpstaphunk into the city’s pre-eminent 21st-century funk-fusion ensemble.
