Havana. New Orleans. Sister cities of sinful past and sizzling present, baking in the Caribbean heat. Yeah, that's right -- our own New Orleans, northernmost port of the Caribbean, steeped in the same legacy of seafaring French and Spanish, swashbucklers, slavery, suppressed Indian tribes and, on a lighter note, a glorious musical melting pot. That's what MARDI GRAS MAMBO: ¡Cubanismo!" IN NEW ORLEANS is all about: Where Bourbon St. hits the Malecón.

Indeed, it would be hard to find another city so proud of its many varieties of cuisine, architecture, and music than New Orleans. Except of course, Havana. Where ¡Cubanismo! brought a vast knowledge of Cuban son, mambo, cha-cha-chá, danzon and timba, Patscha, Bingham and crew were ready to rumble with second line marches, New Orleans R&B, hot jazz, smoky swamp blues, Mardi Gras Indian chants, and the vast musical gumbo of their own hometown. ~Tom Moon
