Vaults: New Orleans in Brooklyn
Wednesday, August 03, 2005
The Rebirth Brass Band, together since 1983, is a musical institution among brass bands, often letting loose with heavy funk and inciting dance riots. The Wild Magnolias, a Mardi Gras “Indian” tribe, are another party parade band, whose elaborate costumes recall the dress of Native Americans, complete with feathers and huge headdresses. For this edition of New Sounds, listen a From the Vaults program of shout, party and stomp sets from both the Rebirth Brass Band and the Wild Magnolias recorded live back at the 1994 World Music Festival held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Opera House.
