And furthermore it's not just limited to New Orleans. It's happening all over the Caribbean region as well. Belize, Barbados, and Guatemala.

This was sooo beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I love watching our people dance and rejoice instead of wailing. This is a beautiful sendoff and glorious tradition!
My nigerian husband family sent him a video of his mom's death and they did this at the end of the funeral. He's Yoruba. I told him we call it 2nd line in Louisiana.
We were. With a group of musician buddies, one fellow stated that it was sad we didn't see a Second Line parade. A few minutes later, off in the distance, a blurp of a siren, the beat of a bass drum, and a whoofing tuba heralded a street parade....a birthday party!
In the 80s, there was a famous scene from the show, "Designing Women" where the ladies had a business convention in NOLA- and one of the characters said they drank so many Hurricane cocktails and partied so hard up & down the streets of New Orleans following a large band- they didn't know they had accidentally joined a funeral procession, lol.
Awesome video! Thanks for the upload. I'm a huge fan of the station from the West Bank (Marrero). May Miss Lois and Action Jackson both Rest In Eternal Peace. God Bless everyone who lives them.🙏🙏🙏

Second Line descends from a tradition called the “Ring Shout”, which originated in Africa. It would also be the beginnings of Dixieland, the first form of jazz.
I can't say how many times I accidentally walked into a 2nd line while I lived there. I was always in awe. Powerful and moving.
That's NOLA on full display. Don't let the gentrifiers destroy your way of life.
Are they trying to? (Just asking)

This is where they get it from.
@@herewegoagin4667 Nope, ... this has been going on for Centuries..
@@idiotu668that doesn't mean that its origins didn't come from somewhere else lol
What a beautiful way to send someone off. Amazing thank you for sharing.
IMAGINE just being a tourist and accidentally discovering this great music impromptu festival on the fly!!!

What a great way to go out! I Love this so much
Sorry Drake, this is music
KEEP THE F----ING GENTRIFYING PEOPLE OUT MY CITY. LET'S KEEP IT NEW ORLEANS AND NOTHIN ELSE!!!!1
this is so beautiful
The city of voodoo jazz and cajuns its perfect
This is not a city of Cajuns, Lafayette is the city of Cajuns
This is 100% a Creole cultural custom. Cajuns have no hand in this.
@@juliejunkyardx hey french talker cajun to me plus N.O is surrounded by bayous so that's where you get the cajuns
One bright morning when my work is done I will fly away home…
Proper. Travel well, Lois Andrews!
May i ask why someone is dancing on the coffin? isn't that disrespectful? or does it mean something else there?
This is how they send people off it can be disrespectful to some but it’s NOLA culture so for them that’s not disrespectful
Different cultures, different meanings. I've never seen that act so it was surprising but I rarely get to experience happy funerals it's beautiful
That was only a sample of what goes down.
What does the second line mean and represent?
Loved me some Mrs Lois. She was feisty.
This lady was YOUNG!
You can't tell me these are not Gods people...
How beautiful
This is how I want to go out #504 🎷🎺🥁⚜️
Was that Trombone Shorty dancing on the casket?
Yes his mother funeral
Only Haiti and new Orléans they do that
West Africa too
Even the guy in the wheelchair is dancing!
Well i was born november 10, Good bless topeople neworleans
BET DAZ JAMES N SHORTY FAMILY!!🖤🌹
Jadore je voudrais que cela soit ainsi😊
You’re supposed to dance and cut loose after the burial. Not dance on top of the casket. DISRESPECTFUL.
LIKES LIKES LIKES
💚💚💚💚💚💚🤍🕊🙏🏾
The dance is amazing... But dance on the casket is disgusting.
