Carnivale Electricos - New Album + US Tour

Once each year, cities from Rio de Janeiro to New Orleans all vibrate with the same exhilarating energy—it's called Carnivale, or Mardi Gras.  Today we are excited to announce the new studio album from Galactic that fuses these two vibrant street cultures together: Carnivale Electricos (available February 21st).  This time around Galactic has collaborated with musicians and performers from all over this hempisphere on what is easily their most ambitious recording yet.  Guest artists include Mystikal, Mannie Fresh, Al "Carnival Time" Johnson, Cyril & Ivan Neville, Moyseis Marques and many more.  For complete details, pre-order information, and to hear the first single Hey Na Na feat. David Shaw (of The Revivalists) and Maggie Koerner, go to www.galacticfunk.com/carnivale-electricos.

The new album will be accompanied by a whirlwind US tour aimed at bringing the spirit and energy of Mardi Gras to every city en route.  Corey Glover (of Living Colour) and Corey Henry (Rebirth Brass Band) will join Galactic again along with many exciting special guests including New Orleans' own The Soul Rebels, the west-coast funk powerhouse Orgone, and the legendary Steel Pulse, just to name a few.
