#003 - Mardi Gras Indians |

Podcast #003 - Mardi Gras Indians / New Orleans, LA
February 24th, 2009
Every year, on Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras Indians wake with the sun and begin their parades through the streets of New Orleans. Clad in beaded and brightly feathered full-body costumes, they travel in small "tribes", accompanied by bass drums, tambourines, and traditional chanting. The procession snowballs as onlookers become participants and join the pageant.
On this particular Mardi Gras morning, a couple of friends and I stumbled upon a small group of Mardi Gras Indians congregated at The Porch 7th Ward Cultural Center. From there, we ditched our bikes and joined the parade. Special thanks to Elijah Chong for the beautiful photography that accompanies this podcast.
