The 79rs Gang is led by musicians Jermaine Bossier and Romeo Bougere, the Big Chiefs of two rival Mardi Gras Indian tribes (the 7th Ward Creole Hunters and the 9th Ward Hunters).  These young talents interweave traditional Mardi Gras rhythms with vibrant contemporary hip hop stylings and sophisticated lyrics. Their fresh takes on timeless themes delight and energize audiences with funky hits like “79ers Bout to Blow,” and collaborations with members of LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire.
