Here’s a band that takes you to the streets of New Orleans. The band Cha Wa includes vocalists/percussionists Irving Banister & Spyboy J’Wan Boudreaux who are supported by a percussive and light on feet team of Joe Gelini/dr, John Fohl/g, Seizo Shibaama/g, Stephen Malinowski/org, Yoshitaka Tsuji/p, Devon Taylor/sousaphone-b and Norwood Johnson/dr. Together they deliver a party attitude on rhythmic features like “Injuns, Here They Come” or with a hip B3-sousaphone combo on “Ohh Nay Nay” and “Upt.” Some guitar rocking and vocals by Irving Baniser and Davell Crawford respectively are added on a slick “Jock-A-Mo” and even some reggae gets put into the jumbo on “Toote Ma.” Gotta love the enthusiasm here!
