{"product_id":"cha-wa-my-people","title":"CHA WA - My People","description":"My People is the vibrant, Grammy-nominated 2021 release by the New Orleans-based Mardi Gras Indian funk band Cha Wa. The album masterfully bridges the gap between the city’s deep-rooted past and its musical future, infusing traditional street parade chants and Native American-tribute masking culture with modern swagger. A heavily grooved, infectious blend of classic 1970s New Orleans Funk (reminiscent of The Meters), blended with contemporary R\u0026amp;B, jazz, hip-hop, and African-inspired arrangements. Described as a \"portable Mardi Gras dance party,\" it captures the pure, hard-won joy and driving rhythms of a Fat Tuesday second line. Underneath the party exterior, the album especially the title track serves as a powerful ode to perseverance, freedom, and the ongoing struggles of the Black New Orleanian community.\u003cul class=\"tracklisting\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 My People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Wildman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Bow Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Morning Glory (Intro)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 Morning Glory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA6 Uptown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Firewater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Love In Your Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Second Line Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Masters Of War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Shallow Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHA WA","offers":[{"title":"M \/ M \/ Single Lock Records \/ SL042","offer_id":57505644642677,"sku":"416960","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/4339\/files\/image_2232640.jpg?v=1786967763","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylexchange.co.uk\/products\/cha-wa-my-people","provider":"Vinyl Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
