Cut yourself a slice of king cake and turn up the volume, because we’re serving up the finest of New Orleans sounds and big band brass in celebration of Mardi Gras.

Plus, we’ll hear the latest from London based singer/songwriter Bakar, who broke out in 2019 with his unique vocal delivery and has even been compared to the likes of Damon Albarn and King Krule.

As the product of hip-hop and Indie rock blended with grime and punk, there’s no doubt he’s the poster-child for this post-genre phase in music, and you’ll hear it on his latest album titled “Nobody’s Home.”
