Cha Wa, a Grammy‑nominated New Orleans brass band and Mardi Gras Indian funk group, will bring its high‑energy sound and vibrant cultural traditions to the Oats Park Center on Saturday, April 18.
The group is known for blending classic New Orleans street music with funk, soul, and the colorful, feathered Mardi Gras Indian performance style. Their shows are often described as nonstop, rhythm‑driven celebrations rooted in generations of musical heritage.
The performance will take place at the Barkley Theatre, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the show beginning at 7 p.m.
Cha Wa has earned national recognition, including two Grammy nominations, and continues to evolve its sound with its latest album, “Rise Up.” Drummer Joe Gelini said the group’s music draws from deep cultural history, noting that “Mardi Gras Indian songs are inherently songs about freedom.”
