Today, two-time GRAMMY nominated New Orleans-based, Afro-Indigenous funk collective Cha Wa released their new single “Music Is My Medicine,” a feel-good funk cousin of Sly and the Family Stone with a message as universal as its sound is uplifting. The track is the second to be shared from their new album Rise Up, out on August 29, the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

The Crescent City's explosive ensemble Cha Wa will release its sophomore studio album Spyboy, featuring its 21-year old lead singer Spyboy J'Wan Boudreaux, on Friday, April 27, 2018. Spyboy is an impeccable blend of traditional New Orleans street music styles transformed into a modern mix of fiery, toe-tapping sounds. The album drops in advance of the band's headlining performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on the Jazz & Heritage Stage (April 28).

Mardi Gras Indian funk band Cha Wa will release their debut album, Funk 'n' Feathers, on April 1, 2016, after years of explosive, thunderous live performances all over the Crescent City. The new recording is a red-hot combination of two of New Orleans’ quintessential trademarks, Mardi Gras Indians and street level funk music.
