New Orleans means a lot of things to a lot of folks, but to the members of Galactic it's the birthplace of funk. And these guys are a staple on the scene. Collaborating with a variety of other New Orleans musicians, the band is redefining the meaning of the genre. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com chats with bassist Robert Mercurio and organist Rich Vogel to find out more about their album Ya-Ka-May, and about how they are trying to reproduce authentic old-school funk music with a contemporary edge.
