Release Notes:
The New Orleans-based jazz-funk ensemble Galactic formed in 1994; originally an
eight-piece, the group soon pared down to an instrumental sextet comprised of
guitarist Jeff Raines, organist Rich Vogel, bassist Robert Mercurio,
saxophonists Ben Ellman and Jason Mingledorff, and drummer Stanton Moore. Later
adding Crescent City music scene vet Theryl deClouet on vocals, Galactic built a
fervent local following on the strength of a relentless live schedule that
included opening slots for group heroes including the Meters, Maceo Parker, and
Medeski, Martin & Wood. In 1996 Galactic issued their debut LP, Coolin' Off;
upon signing to major-label Capricorn, they re-released the album two years
later, soon followed by the all-new Crazyhorse Mongoose. Since that time, they
have released a handful of albums including Late for the Future in 2000, Ruckus
in 2003, and From the Corner to the Block in 2007. The band itself released a
pair of live albums of its sets at Jazz Fest in 2008 and 2009. In 2010 they
issued their most ambitious project to date with Ya-Ka-May, a wholesale New
Orleans recording featuring guest appearances by everyone from Irma Thomas and
Big Chief Bo Dollis to the Rebirth Brass Band and Walter "Wolfman" Washington.
Galactic decided to explore the various connections between New Orleans' annual
Mardi Gras and the nearly nationwide Carnivale of Brazil. Carnivale Electricos
did exactly that. Enlisting help from Cyril and Ivan Neville, rappers Mystikal
and Mannie Fresh, Mardi Gras Indian Big Chief Juan Pardo, the KIPP Renaissance
High School Marching Band, and Al "Carnival Time" Johnson. Galactic stretched
itself toward Brazil's native samba by covering Carlinhos Brown's "Malagenha."
They composed two tunes that bridged the continents: "Guero Bounce," fusing NOLA
bounce and Brazilian rhythms, and "Julou," titled for the band's own outsider
Mardis Gras parade. They also include the traditional Carnivale number "O C⌠co
da Galinha" with the help of samba poet Moyseis Marques on vocals. Carnivale
Electricos was issued on Mardis Gras Day in 2012.
