In this follow up post to last week's description of my annual service learning visit to the Big Easy, I share a bit more of the color and sound of New Orleans. The photos freatured here were all taken by my students while the video is what I could capture of the brass bands playing as the Revolution Social Aid and Pleasure Club second-line passed me by (Sunday, March 28, 2010). Go here, here, and here for video of the group's 2009 second-line parade (much better than mine by the way) and here for a sample of something called "Baby Buckjump."
Following the video is a real treat - photos taken by my student Simon Mairzadeh of the Mardi Gras Indians in full regalia. If you don't know what a Mardi Gras Indian is - I suggest you tune in to the premier of the new HBO series Tremé that debuts this Sunday, April 11, at 10 p.m.
