Description

The New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park

 in partnership with

 The New Orleans Jazz Museum

 present a live, outdoor performance by

 The Down on Their Luck Orchestra

featuring

Kreyol Karavan - musicians and dancers

and

Alexey Marti on Congas

 on Tuesday, 10/26, at 2:00PM CDT

On the Millman Stage in the Jazz Museum’s Riverside Courtyard

Bring you chair and/or your dancing feet.

The Down on Their Luck Orchestra brings together National Park Service rangers with local musicians to perform traditional New Orleans jazz, blues, gospel, and original compositions.

Kreyol Karavan is a journey through Ka rhythms, jazz standards, blues, and spiritual songs. Even more than that, Kreyol Karavan is the intersection between our creole languages (Creole from Guadeloupe, Creole from Martinique, Haitian Creole, and South Louisiana Creole). For a few minutes, we will blend, find shared sounds, explore new colors.

Alexey Martí was born in Havana, Cuba.  Alexey started to play congas when he was seven years old, inspired by the Afro-Cuban religious ceremonies celebrated in his grandparents’ house. More at: Home - Alexey Marti
