this month on the coop:
passing down traditions
As the year draws to a close, it’s a great time to focus on family, friends, and all the tradtions (holiday or year-round), that help define us and bring us closer together. Whether you spent your holiday playing music, cooking, cuddled up around classic movies, or creating new traditions that break the mould, we hope that your Winter has been restful and fulfilling. For this month’s episode, we thought it would be appropriate to highlight the ever-important passing down of musical traditions from generation to generation with a young band that embodies just that, C-4 (avec Steve Riley). We also have a very unique and important recipe for a Haitian Independance / New Years’ Day dish, and some background on other interesting end of year traditions across the area, such as the Christmas Eve bonfires on the levee. As always, we are so grateful for your support of another year of the Coop and hope you’ll make it one of your “traditions” by sharing it with friends as we enter the new year! Bonne année à tous !
