Review of Mardi Gras Indian Music

Compact history of Mardi Gras Indians, with music and short narratives from Indians and muscians.
Very professionally done, the sound is good, well-produced, with a good selection of song clips.
Narrative moves along quickly, never drags.
A threatened New Orleans tradition that many Mardi Gras Indians have stubbornly continued to create.
