Tchoupitoulastreet runs through the heart of New Orleans, and Galactic has spent three decades drawing from that same deep well of second-line funk, brass band tradition, and Crescent City rhythm. The band's rotating cast of collaborators has always been a signature move, stretching back to their early work with Theryl de Clouet and their long partnership with Trombone Shorty's orbit of musicians. TCHOMPITOULAS once again sees Galactic enlisting a diverse array of talent that includes their own vocal powerhouse Anjelika "Jelly" Joseph along with Afro-Cuban rockstar Cimafunk, Also featured on the EP are south Florida rapper Eric Biddines, trumpeter Eric Gordon, and fellow New Orleans legend Glen David Andrews. Highlights include the fiery instrumental workout, "Big Whiskers," available everywhere now for streaming and download."In the true collaborative spirit of Galactic, we approached this EP as a way to connect with some of our new favorite singers and rappers including our new (Ish) singer Anjelika 'Jelly' Joseph," says Galactic co-founder/bassist Robert Mercurio. "Recording with a different artist influences our songwriting and can bring out some exciting results. This also gets our creative juices flowing.Only 1500 Made Tracklist Side A 1. Big Whiskers 2.
