Catholic Music and Catholic Humanism
Burke embraces his Catholic faith, and strives to create musically what writers such as Flannery O'Connor, G.K. Chesterton, and Walker Percy created literarily. This is not music to be sung at Mass or used in the liturgy. This is music to be enjoyed while living your life - sitting, driving, listening.
Our culture batters us down with the new, and we forget that much of what we need to know to achieve happiness has already been passed down to us. The music of Burke Ingraffia is not preachy and does not exclude any listener, but is rooted in a vision of Catholic humanism that hopes to unify everyone in peace.
Independence, Louisiana
Independence, Louisiana is a multi-genre record covering the styles of New Orleans jazz, new folk, pop, funk, Latin jazz, and blues. Finished only months before Hurricane Katrina changed the musical landscape of New Orleans in 2005, this record is a unique snapshot in time that will never be reproduced. The 13-song CD features 20 musicians from the local scene, many of whom scattered in the diaspora that followed the storm.
