For 2012, to shake things up a bit, SONO is taking The Young Fellaz Brass Band to Istanbul. The Young Fellaz Brass Band is a lively second line styled brass band
from New Orleans, LA. It began in 2005 originally with humble
beginnings, only having 3 members walking around their neighborhood
playing their instruments out of the love of music. Over the course of
the next 6 years, the band grew to 8 members. It's recorded three studio albums and played at numerous
festivals in New Orleans, and in many states across
the United States, including the HONK! TX festival. The band’s style of
music covers many genres, including traditional jazz, hip-hop, R&B,
rock and pop tunes. Although they've marched in parades and played on the street in New Orleans, they've never been as far from home as Istanbul before! They'll be a long way from the 504. |
