Description

Music of the Mardi Gras Indians: "Why Don't You Go Down to New Orleans", featuring a power trio that includes Richard "Piano" Scott on piano, Ted Long on bass, and Gerald French on drums. New Orleans rhythm and blues has strong Indian ties. Tribes named the Wild Magnolias, Wild Tchoupitoulas, Golden Eagles, Yellow Pocohontas and Ninth Ward Hunters may draw a blank for most citizens of the World, but they rule the streets of New Orleans during Carnival.
