In New Orleans, on Mardi Gras morning, your eyes may feast on the intricate and elaborate beadwork of the Black Masking Indians as they dance down the street, but the first thing you’ll hear when they make their way toward you is the back line, known as “the rumble”. Fronted by Big Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. of the Young Eagles Black Masking Indian tribe, The Rumble seamlessly blends past, present, and future elements of New Orleans culture into their sound. The band features an exceptional lineup of musicians: Aurélien Barnes on trumpet/percussion, José Maize Jr. on trombone, TJ Norris on bass, Ari Teitel on guitar, Andriu Yanovski on keys, and Trenton O’Neal on drums. Each member brings unique influences ranging from funk to hiphop to brass band, gospel, jazz, and classical. This results in a powerful synergy that captivates audiences with electrifying performances and call-and-response chanting rooted in Mardi Gras Indian traditions. Their music is a vibrant, authentic, and original expansion of iconic styles pioneered by groups like The Meters, Wild Magnolias, and Neville Brothers.
