Full set recorded by community radio WWOZ on 20 October 2019 at the Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival in New Orleans. Nicknamed the « King of Swing », Louisiana singer Tucka is a fixture of the American South’s southern soul and blues circuit, where his powerful voice and high-octane shows draw packed crowds. In this live capture, he unfolds a danceable repertoire spanning contemporary blues, Southern soul and driving rhythms, backed by a tight band and a keen sense of connection with the audience. The WWOZ camera, guardian of New Orleans musical culture, conveys the warm, down-to-earth atmosphere of the festival, between barbecue and grooves. This filmed live performance offers a valuable dive into a scene often overlooked outside the United States: twenty-first-century Southern blues and soul. An ideal document for discovering Tucka on stage in 2019 and the infectious energy of this festive music, rooted in tradition yet speaking to a modern crowd, in the heart of the world capital of blues and jazz.
