<p>Tulane School of Liberal Arts professor <a href= "https://liberalarts.tulane.edu/departments/music/people/matt-sakakeeny"> Matt Sakakeeny</a> discusses the many aspects of New Orleans brass bands that set them apart. We explore the genre’s African and European origins, their important role in neighborhood social aid and pleasure clubs, and how new generations carry on the tradition while adding their own mark to the music.
