Cyril Neville has been stirring it up in Austin, touring and putting out a new cd with Tribe 13. He has in no way forgotten his roots and feels strongly about supporting New Orleans culture and preserving the wetlands.....you may not agree with everything he says but you can't deny that these are positive causes deserving of support.....
MESSAGE FROM CYRIL NEVILLE
Tribe 13 has made it, a new year is upon us. The wounds are still slowly healing from Katrina's wrath. We are still in a transition of renewal and rebuilding.
I skipped Mardi Gras last year for personal reasons because I felt New Orleans was not all the way healed and I know I am still not completely over the complete devastation that my beloved city went through.
It was unbelevably confusing seeing people that was not born in my city telling the natives who was forced out and are still scattered. We are told how to feel or criticized for speaking the truth.
I am coming home for Mardi Gras this year, i have something to say musically, spiritually,
and I will come to share in the uniqueness that my city represents during such a spiritual and
coming together of good times and rememberances of a wonderful city that was not sold out by politicians stuffing their pockets with the money that was supposed to be rebuilding it, also not caring about the true culture that truly brought the adoring fans from around the world, it sure wasn't the french quarter with it's stench and kharma from the misdeeds it's slavemasters had done , now the city suffers from the kharma of my brothers disrespect for his own life and his brother's life. I pray that they stop the madness.
Traditions of our celebrating Carnival was not being shot at or witnessing a murder. We came together in song and drumming to celebrate the strength of a people who had met and admired another people, the red man for accepting us to through a tragic times of slavery and it's degregation. So at Mardi Gras time the black indian came out to give his thanks and praise of another year of blessings with the celeration and honor to the people that accepted them.
We will be honoring Brother Tootie Montana and also raising awareness for the
non-profit programs called the White Buffalo Day children's foundation and the Back Street Museum that my wife and I have been helping and lending our service to, to keep the true culture of New Orleans alive.
On Monday at the Mother-in-Law lounge we invite all the people to come and celebrate our coming home, but the honoring of the memory of brother Tootie and honring his Queen SISTER JOYCE....
He died trying to bring the city and the black indians together. We will honor this big chief's memory
I will be playing fresh new music with a fresh sound but we have our indian face paint on and we are ready to go.
SO YOU CAN GO SEE THE SAME OLD THING OR COME SEE SOMETHING FRESH....
