‘Iko Iko’ tells of a parade collision between the two tribes of Mardi Gras Indians and the traditional confrontation, released in 1953 as a single by Sugar Boy and the Cutters but made famous in 1965 by The Dixie Cups. I enjoyed arranging this with all the varied layers of vocal rhythms – it’s fun to sing! Click on the score below to hear Copious Notes in action….
