Ridgefield Playhouse: Cha Wa Livestream Earth Day Celebration:

Join Cha Wa for a special Earth Day celebration following the release of the band’s “My People” album. The new release is a much-anticipated follow up to their Grammy-nominated album “Spyboy” and feels like a distillation of pure joy, encompassing generations of New Orleans musical expression. But it also never fails to remind us how hard-won that joy was and still is, not least in the tense, funky and explosive title track, with its declaration “My people, we’re still here.”

Popmatters describes New Orleans brass/funk/Mardi Gras Indian band Cha Wa’s sound as “a grand gumbo of singing, intoxicating rhythms, and deep funk grooves that are impossible to resist.” And Paste flatly declares “I’ve seen the future of New Orleans music, and its name is Cha Wa.”
