The music world runs shy of superlatives when it comes to New Orleans’ first family of funk, the Neville Brothers. Their lineage is purebred, from Art’s syncopated keyboard contributions with the Meters, the original kings of Louisiana funk; Aaron’s nimble, angelic voice and imposing presence; Cyril’s fire and percussive drive; and Charles’ melodic saxophone. Through some 16 recordings – including their newest Walkin’ in the Shadow of Life – and a powerful live show, the brothers not only honour all that is true and good about the deep musical soul of New Orleans, but continue to fuse classic New Orleans party music with the new for a powerful blend of heart-stopping funk, astute social commentary, and pure joy.
