Description from Tip's website:
Featuring Big Chief Bo Dollis
and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux
Part Latin, Part 
African-Caribbean, part Jazz and 100 percent soul, the Wild Magnolias, 
Mardi Gras Indians' sound is unmistakably New Orleans. Led by Big Chief 
Bo Dollis, whose Chieftain status continues a tradition of tribal Unity 
that dates back to the 1800's. These indian tribes were formed to pay 
homage to the Native-American Indians who befriended runaway slaves and 
afforded them a safe haven.  The Wild Magnolias infused electric funk 
into this cultural traditions over the past 20 years in memorable songs 
like New Suit, Handa Wanda, Fire Water and the international hit, Smoke 
My Peace Pipe.
