 Rebirth Brass Band
From the swamp-hot streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, the Rebirth Brass Band will no doubt stomp their way into your heart, that is, if they don't already hold a place there. This year they celebrated 30 years of the of heavy funk, traditional compositions and modern 'brasstardizations' (like their bizarre send-ups of 'Casanova' and 'Macarena'). Committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands while at the same time incorporating modern music into their show, their signature brand of heavy funk has placed at the pinnacle of all brass bands. With their reinvention of the brass band genre and their activity in the post-Katrina New Orleans community, Rebirth is a cultural and musical force. A hands-down favorite among the younger generation, Rebirth Brass Band has toured the world over and shared stages with George Clinton, Maceo Parker, Dr. John and more. |
