Recommended for this Week

Recommended radio listening for this week: WWOZ is broadcasting live from Denver. Several New Orleans musicians are playing at and around the Democratic National Convention, and WWOZ decided to broadcast them back home. WWOZ will also be in the Twin Cities next week for a similar event at the Republican National Convention.

More information at WWOZ's blog. For folks outside New Orleans, WWOZ provides several webfeeds.

It's recommended because they just had Soul Rebels Brass Band performing with the Wild Tchoupitoulas, accompanied by a good description of what Mardi Gras Indians actually are.
