I've been working! Workin' with the Wild Tchoupitoulas & Golden Commanche, Jack Cruz, Big Chief Roderick Sylvas, Spy Boy Juan Pardo, Marilyn Barbarin, Junkyard Dog, Uganda Roberts, and a host of other New Orleans conspirators - the New Orleans Rhythm Conspiracy ---
We have just released our debut CD, "DANCIN' GROUND", below is an audio-slide version of the title cut - check it out....
and ya can buy it at CDBaby.com or the Louisiana Music Factory : www.louisianamusicfactory.com
The tune comes from a little known story, that the original inhabitants called the area Tchoupitoulas, which meant "Dancin' Ground".....we've brought that forward and issued it as a call home to our people, those displaced by Katrina, to come home to the Dancin' Ground.
Another added note ~ The New Orleans Rhythm Conspiracy is a music and cultral collective, a social enterprise......as we believe that taking a more united, inclusive equitable social economy approach to the rebuilding of New Orleans is essential in order to mitigate the abuses of the private market ----- to resist the domestic structural adjustment program ( a WTO Game) of privitization that is happening in New Orleans. As Big Chief says, "We won't bow down, we won't run", ........ and Wildman John, "Do what ya wanna, do what ya Know!"
