Detroit Brooks Sr. Trio
11:00 am
Detroit Brooks, famed session and touring guitarist of the New Orleans music scene, has the most recognizable face in the city. Often admired by guitarists world-wide, Brooks’ laid-back demeanor masks one of the most heralded and sought-after performer, songwriter, and session men of our time.
He began his career at an early age, touring with his famous family which includes his world-famous sister Juanita Brooks, of “Juanita’s Gospel Express,” as well as his acclaimed father, George A. Brooks, Sr., of the famous “Masonic Kings.” Like many accomplished guitarists, Detroit mastered his craft on the road where the performances were “long, free and continuous.” His skill, technique and experience brought him quick recognition and the opportunity to play with gospel greats like Clarence Fountain & the Five Blind Boys, Dorothy Norwood, Reverend Ernest Franklin, Albertina Walker, Raymond Myles and The Rams and the famed Zion Harmonizers.

About Juneteenth
Juneteenth refers to June 19, 1865, when Union general Gordon Granger read out federal orders declaring that all people previously enslaved in Texas were free, nearly two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. Through grassroots efforts, Black people in Texas reclaimed June 19 from a day of unheeded military orders as the first celebration of “Juneteenth” a year later in 1866, and it continues as a celebration for Black liberation across the country. To learn more, see “What Is Juneteenth?” by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

About the Performers
Ángel Ríos
Honduran violinist and composer Ángel Ríos mixes elements of traditional Garifuna Afro-Caribbean music from his country with jazz. Born in San Pedro Sula, Ríos began to study violin at the age of seven, and he continued his musical studies at the Victor Lopez School of Music and Tiradientes College. He is a graduate of Francisco Morazon University in music. He has recorded three albums and performed as a soloist and with an orchestra around the world. Ríos currently lives in Miami, where he directs his own Camay Orchestra and uses his classical training to arrange and compose music that expresses the culture of Honduras.
Bodoma Garifuna Group
Carlos “Bodoma” Norales is a Garifuna singer, drummer, and composer who, through his music, connects youth with ancestral traditions. Bodoma was born in La Ceiba, and at the age of thirteen, he traveled to San Pedro Sula to study. He became interested in Garifuna cultural activities and began composing in the rhythms and style of Garifuna cultural traditions. In 2007, he met Latin jazz composer Patrice Fisher, and they started an ongoing collaboration involving Honduran, Garifuna, and New Orleans-based musicians.
Patrice Fisher and Arpa
Latin jazz harpist Patrice Fisher favors the music of Brazil and Cuba, saying that, not only is the harp “comfortable” harmonically with the music, but that she herself is drawn to the rhythmic complexities and syncopations: “that’s what makes you want to dance.” Fisher is a graduate of Tulane University and the University of New Orleans. She lives in New Orleans, where she has been composing and performing since the 1980s. She has also appeared at local and international jazz festivals with her group Arpa, in locations such as Germany, Brazil, Mexico, and Guatemala.
Mariachi Jalisco
El Mariachi Jalisco was started in Baton Rouge in 2010 as the first mariachi group in the state of Louisiana. Eider Martinez and other group members decided to revive the Mariachi Jalisco Havana Cuba, a musical group that they had in their native Cuba. All the members have over ten years of experience in this genre of traditional Mexican music and are graduates of various musical conservatories. They have performed ten times at the International Mariachi Festival in Guadalajara, and made various television appearances which have been broadcast throughout Latin America and the United States.
Mexico Y Sus Raíces
Mexico Y Sus Raíces is a Mexican folkloric dance group that shows the beauty of local dances in Jalisco, Mexico, through music and colorful mariachi costumes.

About Ecos Latinos
Ecos Latinos is a monthly performance series featuring Hispanic musicians, poets, dancers, and visual artists—both local and international—at schools, hospitals, libraries, and festivals in Louisiana. Additionally, Ecos Latinos produces professionally edited documentary videos showcasing the music of Louisiana composers.

Multi-year winner of Gambit’s Readers Poll in “Best Band That Doesn’t Fit Any Of These Categories” and ten-time winner of the prestigious Offbeat Magazine Best of the Beat Awards, the horn-powered All-Stars’ New Orleans shows are legendary in the Crescent City. Raspy vocals, rollicking piano, and a corrupt horn section fuel an unorthodox mix of second line funk and Motown soul.

About Our Partners

Delaney George
Delaney George is a proud New Orleans–raised multidisciplinary visual artist with a strong background in conceptual photography, creative direction, and mixed-media art.
George’s work aims to extract feelings from the viewer by consistently portraying themes of nostalgia, femininity, vibrance, and glamour. Recurring themes in many of her works are inclusion and re-imagination. George creates images that are both a contemporary ode to the past and a safe space to display modern figures in spaces they aren’t commonly represented or historically welcomed.
George’s work has been published in the the New York Times, Glamour Magazine, and Buzzfeed. It is also currently on display in the official exhibition of the film Till, released in October 2022.

Second Line Arts Collective
Second Line Arts Collective provides music education programming from recess to record deals. The organization addresses two gaps in music instruction: early music education and music business/career sustainability. Second Line inspires a love of music and moves musicians to the center of the economic power structure by establishing a tight-knit community of artists and industry professionals.

Education and outreach initiatives at NOMA are supported in part by The Gayle and Tom Benson Foundation; the Lois and Lloyd Hawkins Jr. Foundation; The Helis Foundation; The City of New Orleans; First Horizon; Janice Parmelee and Bill Hammack; Sara and David Kelso; Patrick F.

Brooks, Sr., of the famous “Masonic Kings.” Like many accomplished guitarists, Detroit mastered his craft on the road where the performances were “long, free and continuous.” His skill, technique and experience brought him quick recognition and the opportunity to play with gospel greats like Clarence Fountain & the Five Blind Boys, Dorothy Norwood, Reverend Ernest Franklin, Albertina Walker, Raymond Myles and The Rams and the famed Zion Harmonizers.

Maya Symposium Keynote Address and Reception
2023-03-17 18:00
Join us for the keynote event of the 18th annual Tulane Maya Symposium, Mapping Inequality: Lessons from Central Mexico with Barbara E. Mundy, Robertson Chair in Latin American Art, Tulane University. A reception for all attendees will follow the lecture.
This program is free and open to the public. Advance registration for the keynote address is encouraged but not required.
Register Here
This page is for keynote event registration only. For more information about the 18th Annual Tulane Maya Symposium: Inequality Among the Maya and to access the full symposium registration, please visit their website.

Keynote Abstract
Painted manuscripts of Central Mexico often present images of historic migrations, led by elites, and genealogies of ruling families, set against a backdrop of territory. Cartography, then, offers a visual record of the inequality implicit in social hierarchies. At the same time, as physical objects that had to be created and cared for, maps depended upon the involvement of a range of social actors and were shaped over time by evolving practices. In this talk, I turn to a selection of maps from Central Mexico to show levels of social complexity implicated in objects that seem, on their surfaces, to offer direct records of inequality.

About Barbara E. Mundy
Barbara E. Mundy’s scholarship dwells in zones of contact between Native peoples and settler colonists as they forged new visual cultures in the Americas. She is particularly interested in the social construction of space and its imaginary, which was the subject of her first book, The Mapping of New Spain. Her most recent book, The Death of Aztec Tenochtitlan, the Life of Mexico City, draws on Indigenous texts and representations to counter a colonialist historiography, and to argue for the city’s nature as an Indigenous city through the sixteenth century. With Dana Leibsohn, Mundy is the co-creator of Vistas: Visual Culture in Spanish America, 1520-1820, an NEH funded project.
She serves the editorial board of Estudios de Cultura Náhuatl, and The Americas, as well as on the advisory board of the Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography. Mundy is the past president of the American Society for Ethnohistory (2021-22) and was the 2021-22 Kislak Chair at the Library of Congress. She has received fellowships from the Center for Advanced Studies in the Visual Art (CASVA) at the National Gallery of Art, and the John Carter Brown Library in support of her work.
