"in the US there is another revival of New Orleans style street music led by an amazing group of musicians called Tuba Skinny....positive and inclusive...I love them, especially the little "leader" Shay and the fantastic singer Erica Lewis.   This is the folk music of Black America, full of life and sometimes pathos.....Heads UP...and give it a listen!" (Akenaton)...but be inspired to practice and perform YOUR OWN culture; as I was allowed to say on the BBC's Free Thinking event at the Sage Gateshead a few years ago, "If you are not American don't Americanise, for the love of our world being multicultural."
