The Iguanas

As you all know, jazz fest is coming up soon, and I encourage you to check out a New Orleans based band, The Iguanas. Their style has been described as "Chicano R&B with a voodoo twist". The Iguanas are in the same league as Los Lobos, in that they have successfully translated their Mexican culture into US based RocknRoll. "With Spanish rythmn and lyrics mixed with heaty, honking saxaphone rifts, there's plenty to dance to." (Ketner, Houston Press, 2004)

Check out their site at http://www.iguanas.com, and their gig on Saturday April 29th at the 2006 Jazz and Heritage Festival.
