On their sixth studio album, the jazz-funk jam band creates a record that aims to capture the modern and diverse music scene of New Orleans. The band has recruited a variety of artists from the city to contribute to the album. New Orleans is represented by artists in a diversity of genres such as brass (Rebirth Brass Band on \u201cBoe Money\u201d), jazz (John Boutte sings on the blues and funk inspired \u201cDark Water\u201d) and most prominently, bounce. The inclusion of bounce on the album, from artists such as Cheeky Blakk (\u201cDo It Again\u201d) and Big Freida (\u201cDouble It\u201d), will make fans recall Galactic\u2019s previous hip hop inspired album <em>From the Corner to the Block<\/em>, and make the listener want to get up and dance while playing the album loud. Ya-Ka-May is an album that is very much like the dish that it takes its title from; it contains ingredients that should not work well together, but once it is mixed together and served, it is excellent. This album will blow your mind.
