  • Description

    Music is everywhere in New Orleans; it's the lifeblood of the city and the people. This Rough Guide gives you a real taste of the whole New Orleans scene. Soak up the classic piano jazz of Professor Longhair, the thick horn blasts of The Hot 8 Brass Band, or the deep grooves of Dumpstaphunk, the latter of which also provide the full-length and fantastically funky bonus album included with this Rough Guide.

    Bonus CD: Dumpstaphunk - 'Listen Hear' (Extended Edition)

    This band put the 'ph' into funk. Dumpstaphunk have been described by the New York Times as "the best funk band from New Orleans right now", and they don't say these things lightly! So put your troubles in the 'dumpsta' it is time to get up, shake your sacroiliac and feel the (Dumpsta)-phunk!
