Three years ago, on the eve of Mardi Gras, we phoned up Christopher Gargiule, aka "Brother Chris", aka "The Prince of New Orleans" to talk all things about that magical city. From the explanation of a Second Line to Mardi Gras Indians, the history of different krewes to just getting caught up in a little magic, it quickly became one of the most popular shows ever to appear on Rough Sundays.
For whatever reason, it disappeared online and had to be tracked down by some tech-savvy folks (who did so at no cost as they remembered the show in question).
And so, on the Sunday before Mardi Gras 2021 - a strange one, perhaps, but even more special for it - it's Rough Sundays, New Orleans edition.

A day late, but that's because it's such a good show that Spotify thought it was done by professionals and wanted to make sure we weren't stealing.
Back down the rabbit hole of Ethiopian Jazz, the resistance and resistance of New Orleans, the realness of Satan and one of the catchiest gospel tracks you've never heard. Plus a whoooooole lot more.

A stone's throw from the Bosnian border, it's Rough Sundays Vol. XI, featuring Civil Rights hymns, Nigerian Palm Wine music, a coffee-soaked Holiday, Elvis vs. Cultural Appropriation and just who, exactly, kidnapped Fats Waller and forced him to stay up for 3 days playing his piano.

Despite what the pictured high-fashion would have you believe, probably the best show since the recent reboot. We go from Palm Wine music coming out of West Africa, across the Atlantic and down to Brazil, followed by some Blind Boys and then probably the greatest live gospel performance ever recorded and a few more tracks after that.

From underneath the bells of a medieval church in Montenegro (and then later a balcony overlooking the bay), we're back with the Queen of Gospel, a voice that was built on Sundays, Sam Cooke's original band and a story about how host Aric S. Queen stalked Otis Redding's family... twice.
It's Rough Sundays, Vol. VI!
