New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation community partner, the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, is opening their Market Nights series this Thursday, October 15 with Flagboy Giz, a Wild Tchoupitoulas Black Masking Indian bringing New Orleans culture to the orchestral stage. His music fuses West African rhythms, funk, brass, hip-hop, and bounce with the chants and traditions passed down through generations of Mardi Gras Indian culture.

Secure your ticket or learn more at lpomusic.com/events/lpo-market-night-flagboy-giz-oct-15!

Giz's breakout single "We Outside" topped a million YouTube views before the NFL licensed it for Super Bowl 59, carrying the sound to a national audience. He has performed at Jazz Fest, Essence Festival, and French Quarter Festival, and in 2024 represented the Louisiana/Memphis Chapter of the Recording Academy at the GRAMMY Awards.
