Buskers in New Orleans

[@gina118]

Ein eigtl. einfaches Lied mit einfacher Melodie, aber durch die großartige Persönlichkeit der Sängerin strahlt es eine Unmenge an positiven Gedanken aus, die eine absolute Wohltat sind. Erinnerungen an die Goldgräberzeit werden wach. Maddy and Shaye, top buskers side by side, wonderful.

Entirely agree with you. I'd prefer this natural tune of natural musicians to any show business. One can feel that music comes from their blood, not from their purse. What a wonderful experience.

The tune is 'Exploiter' (otherwise known as 'Buy Me a Zeppelin'). It was composed in the 1930s by the calypso star 'Lord Caresser' (Rufus Callender). The singer here is Madeleine Reidy.

I love that tune and the great Maddy. Shaye have with the unusual flat their problems.

Maddy is amazing at knowing the words of really long songs; see the Superband Hold Your Hand, Madam Khan. I wish there was more of her on KZbin.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Calypso seems to be specialty.

[@otpkd]

@@MarkWYoung-ky4uc Yes indeed, but the videos of her with friends are covers of more standard jazz songs.

[@tomwise1us]

Maddy should join Tuba Skinny & do more calypso.

[@robertpearson9137]

I'm late to Tuba Skinny. Better late than never. They even do Calypso!

[@lucas1234poi9]

Very nice

[@VicAmor1944]

Amazing, catchy melody, Maddy is just right for this number. The saxophone player is taller than Maddy! I though SHE was the tallest person in New Orleans. Shaye is feeling the rhythm. Interesting seeing Maddy and Shaye standing next to each other, big difference in size, but both with big personalities!

[@otpkd]

There's a man called Westen/on Borghesi who appears in 2-3 Tuba Skinny videos, plays ? banjo, who looks to be even taller.

[@henryseidel5469]

This performance somehow reminds me of the Cuban "Buena Vista Social Club ". Music made by and for the people - not for some show business management.

[@lioneldarde1851]

Shaye et Maddy l’une à côté de l’autre ... étonnant !! Et le saxo est encore plus grand que la ´grande Mado ´ ...

[@shurshot2764]

Good, but NOT TS. Maybe to many strings?????

[@purgenil]

Yes, Not TS. They're far from ТS

[@otpkd]

I suspect this is a superband, in which there are often many strings players.

[@DanielCPurdy]

Superbands are just musicians who come together to raise money for a cause or to help a musician who has medical needs. Not really an organized band.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

@@DanielCPurdy You are correct sir and in my humble opinion, they can usually put out some great music. I guess when someone learns of a need, they put out the word to all the bands for a superband gathering and they go with whoever shows up. Some are large while others are small. Some may have a lot of horns while others have a lot of strings. Some may have 1 or more singers while some don't. Either way, it always seems to work.
