“Cha Wa intertwines Mardi Gras Indian Rhythms and chants, brass band horns, funk grooves and other strands of New Orleans music to create something both familiar and fresh.” —The New Orleans Advocate

Celebrated for their Grammy-nominated albums Spyboy and My People, Cha Wa offers a euphoric celebration of New Orleans' rich heritage. My People not only serves as a jubilant expression of the city's enduring spirit but also as a poignant reminder of the struggles for freedom that have shaped this joy. With songs that resonate with the ongoing fight for liberation, Cha Wa's music, described by Popmatters as "a grand gumbo of singing, intoxicating rhythms, and deep funk grooves," invites you to experience the unstoppable energy of New Orleans. Join Cha Wa for an unforgettable journey through the streets of their city, where every beat tells a story of resilience, unity, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.
