These Bourbon Street party-starters mix New Orleans jazz, R&B soulfulness, and traditional Mexican melodies to cook up their spicy musical gumbo.

• The genre-bending groove masters known as The Iguanas formed in 1989 when founding members Rod Hodges, Joe Cabral, and René Coman bonded over their mutual love of Chicago blues, New Orleans jazz, and Mexican conjunto music.
• Their second album Nuevo Boogaloo (1994)—which was recorded on Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville label— peaked at No. 34 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart and featured fan favorite “Oye Isabel.”
• The group debuted their recent release Sin to Sin (2012) at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
• “Based out of New Orleans for the past couple of decades—save for a short, Katrina-imposed exile in Austin—The Iguanas define a sound of Americana that crosses cultures, styles, eras…and even languages.”—Amazon.com
