Chief Monk Boudreaux stands as a pillar of New Orleans' traditional music, the oldest living Mardi Gras Indian Chief and Big Chief of the Golden Eagles. Named a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2016, he has carried the torch of Afro-Caribbean and Gulf Coast roots with distinction. His career blends ceremonial performance, blunt storytelling, and high-energy vocal and rhythmic prowess that captivates audiences from Maple Leaf Bar to the festival stage in the heart of New Orleans.
