Description from Tip's website:
The Original Wild Magnolias
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.
