Juan Pardo has recorded with Galactic ("Ha Di Ka" on Carnivale Electricos), the New Orleans Suspects and 101 Runners, released the album Spirit Food with the Golden Comanche, appeared in HBO's Treme, and plays a Mardi Gras morning sunrise set at Tipitina's.

The Council


The Tribe, In Full

Every name here carries the tribe — the council that leads the gang out, and the members who sew and mask. Council first, then the gang.

Masking Days · When This Tribe Comes Out

On the council: masking is a year-round commitment — the sewing table every night, practices every Sunday, and one morning when it all comes out. Councils are published with the tribe’s blessing and updated each Carnival.
