Kia Cavallaro

First day in New Orleans. Royal Street in the French Quarter. Who sails around the world to record music and is looking for musicians in New Orleans is at the right place. Because here they all are – the buskers of New Orleans. On the famous Royal Street in the French Quarter. It was raining all day when we arrived but we put on rain jackets and started our search. Up and down and up and down again we walked the long street but for some reason we stayed unlucky. How is that possible? In the city of Jazz? A few hours later it was still raining and we were completely soaked and ready to give up. Then finally – at first we only heard her voice, we looked at each other and turned around. Behind the next street corner stood Kia, picked her banjo and sang. And what a voice! She has a voice that can’t be described, something between country and blues but just good. Of course she wanted to participate in our project and logically we recorded her the next day on the riverside right next to the Mississippi. Sometimes you can also call us the “Lucky Conductors”.
