Thanks for posting this video! Unfortunately, I've not had the pleasure of seeing the Mardi Gras Indians in person, but I love that massing and chanting tradition. I also thought the spoken word interlude was very powerful. More people need to hear & see this. I added this video and a partial transcription of this version of Little Liza Jane to my page on this culture. Google Cocojams Mardi Gras Indian Songs And Chants. Please post any corrections. Much respect!
