The Swamp Cats ("Los Ciénegatos") is a high-energy brass ensemble founded in 2012 by Santa Fe percussionist and bandleader Milton J. Villarrubia III. Rooted in the world-famous New Orleans brass and marching band tradition, the group features top New Mexico instrumentalists– thoroughly steeped in the elixir of New Orleans jazz– playing trombone, trumpet, tenor sax/clarinet, sousaphone, snare drum and bass drum to deliver a "massive, soulful, and captivating sound."
