"Indians are the rulers on the holiday," sings George "Big Chief Jolly" Landry on the lone album from The Wild Tchoupitoulas. Formed as a group of Mardi Gras Indians—ceremonial African-American Carnival revelers—The Wild Tchoupitoulas recorded in 1976 what was considered the first rock record to capture the funky New Orleans sound. It helped that the band was backed by legendary funk group The Meters as well as Landry's nephews, the Neville Brothers, who were inspired to perform as a group after the experience. The record also featured production from Allen Toussaint, a musician plenty famous in his own right.The Wild Tchoupitoulas - "Meet The Boys On The Waterfront" (from The Wild Tchoupitoulas)
