#streetpunxofyangon is a narrative feature that originated from Polish-born director Maja Holzinger’s trip to Myanmar when she stumbled into an underground punk scene and shot a short film with the band Rebel Riot. She then partnered with Puerto Rican-born writer/producer Yamil Rodriguez and, together, they came up with a story that reflected their own creative process.

Similar to the plot of the movie, the initial inspiration was to set a film in a fascinatingly foreign city. But the more time Maja and Yamil spent in Yangon developing the script, the more obvious it became to them that they were not the ideal voices to speak for a culture they could only glimpse from the outside.

The story took them back to New Orleans where they asked writer-producer Eric Layer to turn the concept into a movie script. The independent film project took off through the group effort of a community of local artists and filmmakers. The film is a labor of love for all involved and a vivid example of the most serendipitous New Orleans community and magic.

Charlie is the most senior member of the legendary New Orleans Jazz ensemble, Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Charlie’s first professional gig dates to 1943, sitting in for his father in New Orleans’ Eureka Brass Band. As a teenager living in Detroit, Charlie played with Lionel Hampton, whose band just then also included a young Charles Mingus, later spending nine years with a group led by Cab Calloway drummer, J.C. Heard. While he’s also fronted a bebop quintet, played and/or toured with Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennet, Aretha Franklin and many more, this is the first time his name appears on the front of a record, as a bandleader.

“Iko Kreyòl” celebrates the historical, cultural and spiritual connections between the people and music of New Orleans and Haiti.

The song, which features Lakou Mizik, 79rs Gang, Win Butler & Regine Chassagne of Arcade Fire, and Preservation Hall Jazz Band, is a reclamation of the New Orleans classic “Iko Iko,” a standard Mardi Gras chant that many historians believe descended from Haitian folklore.
