Tuba Skinny ragtime band at Chichen Itza

Surprise performance by Tuba Skinny from New Orleans, LA, USA, at Chichen Itza, December 13th, 2012.

[@navretvet]

American Ambassadors to the Jazz World! These guys are TRUE to the old time jazz most of the world had forgotten about. Resurrecting old hits with extremely proficient musicians, these folks revive music so we can again enjoy them with the same appreciation and enthusiasm as when they were first played. Thanks for posting.

[@JetSetDiva]

Love the washboard solo! Underrated instrument, that washboard.

[@tamarakennedy4976]

Love this one...man that guy on the clarinet or idk it's so great and the trumpet the washboard pretty great and the VOCALS killer...banjo spot on so dixy. And the trombone so vital and to your bones makes me feel the music in my soul and the guitar soulful really gluing it together the harmony of collective musicians VOCALS just artistry...a gorgeous vibration that comes into your eyes and ears and settles in your soul and bolts to your moving parts cause you can't help but wanna shake something why even the dead hear this they GUNNA get up and dance I guarantee..I reckon this is what has always given me new life, like an old bouquet of dried up dead roses I hear this music and it breathes oxygen and all things vibrant colorful joyful soulful and rightness back into this girl. For that and this and this and that I thank you from the bottom of my heart ..

[@leognardo357]

Wow, they are all over the place. True buskers right there, just going where the music takes them through the streets & farther. Great stuff.

A: That little girl had has great hair. I'm 60 yrs old and just jealous and, B : never thought I'd say "That was a great washboard solo." But there you have it! Great band! Eric

"Erika-You are one of the greatest vocalists of our age" I AGREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Me encanto cuando dicen " somos tuba skinny , venimos de New Orleans y tenemos cds en 100 pesos ". excelente !! I love that

[@fastheartmartvideos]

Wow! This is amazing! The whole band is brilliant! The washboard player seems like one of the best I've ever heard :)

Who is she? Has she performed with TS since 2012?

Washboard lady if Defne "Dizzy" Incirioglou. She's been with several street bands in NOLA. She's really talented, and really beautiful.

Me encantan!! Los adoro, son excelentes, buenísisimos!! Abrazos desde México.

[@willgingell5595]

WOW - discovered this after watching ‘Lost Dog Street Band’. I love the way the 2 ladies kick their feet around, reminds me of Flapper girls. Damn how tall is that banjo player. Keep the tunes coming please. And that smile on Dizzy’s face at 3.14 at the end of solo - beautiful.

[@spenhay2448]

There's something about Erika singing and playing that drum that gives me that happy feeling.

[@ed4linda]

Great job on the washboard solo!!!!

[@hegerdietmar8101]

Tuba Skinny make me smile.

[@Marathonracer]

This song is "Everybody Loves My Baby", composed by Spencer Williams, 1924, with lyrics by Jack Palmer. Louis Armstrong, playing cornet with Spencer Williams' Blue Five, recorded an important version of it that same year and the Boswell Sisters recorded it in 1932.

[@JJallatte]

Fats Waller also

Almost everybody in jazz has covered it at some point

So much talent in the world. Nice.

[@wallaceharper1007]

That DIZZY on washboard is positively delicious.

[@03Venture]

That metal clarinet is played by a musician who knows what he’s doing really well. Not the same as a regular wood or plastic clari. Kudos!

For the last five minutes " I was indulged" ✌️🌹😊

I love this group.

[@bengemeister]

DAMN-someone who can really play the washboard!! Couldn't do better myself.

[@PopsCoffee]

Very nicely filmed. Thanks! Good to see them on tour and also to note that the multi-talented Shaye is even a multi-linguist too.

[@mariaeugeniaangellopez6625]

It's great to see young people out playing stuff like this. Too many of our youth are stuck on the phone.

[@paulgibby6932]

Washboard woman hits the bell without looking. Sweet solo!

[@user-lg2xy2mz6z]

Paul Gibby it's not a big deal. Ray Charles make a career without looking!!!

[@sireugenecourtney5797]

Washboard players don't seem to need any musical talent to play and I wonder if they get a full share when splitting up the meager gig receipts? It would be nice if the City of New Orleans provided a stipend to help struggling street musicians since they help the tourist industry.

[@jimthompson471]

[@avenidablues3442]

​@@sireugenecourtney5797 Making the washboard sound musical and great is hard work! Dizzy is surely talented one of the best along with Robin (their regular wash player)

[@kenfarmer1139]

@@sireugenecourtney5797 . I was asked once, How long does it take to learn to play the washboard? I answered, It depends how well you want to play it.

[@CarlosSanchez-kd8et]

Welcome to Mexico you are GREAT musicians

[@JiveDadson]

I am a huge fan of Tuba Skinny. Of the hundred or more tunes I've listened to them do, I can recall only one rag. What I'm saying is they are a jazz band, not a ragtime band. Thanks much for the upload.

[@shortstuffstumpleson]

That's Dizzy on the washboard, and yes, that's me on the banjo. Barnabus on trombone, Ryan on banjo-guitar, Jon Doyle on clarinet, Erika, bass drum, Todd tuba. Mini-B on cornet!

[@joserocandio2206]

Waths tuning have the tenor banjo

[@sdxn2400134]

Why do you refer to Shaye as "Mini-B"?

[@shortstuffstumpleson]

Haha, that's an inside joke only for Shae and myself. Perhaps the answer will make it's way to the surface of the annals of jazz history one day!

[@jomarluke]

And that clarinet he's playing on, what kind of metal clarinet is it? I play tuba, but I've got a metal clarinet for fun and such. Also, good idea on NOT bringing the BAT (big a$$ tuba) down south. I sometimes wish I'd have my 20-j with me in Macedonia right now, but I'll find a helicon, I have to!

[@davidbento9459]

He really has Chops on the clarinet they all are incredible, been addicted since I found them 3 months ago now working on starting a NOLA band here in Hawaii..

[@patriciarobles845]

I AGREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Talented bunch👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bubbatwotoes4695]

The whole group is awesome as always. I'm amazed how Jon Doyle players the clarinet and the tenor sax ~ he is awesome on both and really gets into the instrument that he is playing. I could talk about each and every musician; but I don't want to be boring. You say you're on the banjo ~ looks like there are two banjos. :-) I've watched these videos so many times; I bought me a washboard and I'm working on getting it put together; although I don't think I could ever be as good as Dizzy or Robin. You are all super musicians and thanks for the great music and entertainment. Best wishes and God bless you all.

[@sireugenecourtney5797]

I believe there are better uses of the washboard like washing clothes in a primitive non-electric society. However, it doesn't seem to caught on with the people along rivers and streams who use big stones to bash the dirt away or the Asians who use big tubs and their dancing feet.
