Second Line

Second line music is a vibrant, deeply rooted genre that embodies the soul and spirit of New Orleans' street parades and social aid and pleasure clubs. Characterized by its infectious rhythms, spirited brass band arrangements, and joyous, improvisational interplay, second line has a tradition of celebrating community, resilience, and freedom. Its sound is a rich amalgam of jazz, funk, blues, and a hint of military marching bands, marked by the commanding presence of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, tubas, and percussion. Artists like The Soul Rebels, Rebirth Brass Band, and Hot 8 Brass Band, among others, are torchbearers of the genre, infusing contemporary influences while honoring the legacy of the second line. This music doesn’t just invite listeners to tap their feet; it beckons them to join the parade, to be part of a moving, breathing manifestation of cultural continuation and celebration.
