Generations of African and Caribbean music are the core of New Orleans’ sound, all honored with love and spirit by the three women of Zion Trinity. Drawing on and nurturing the deep roots of reggae, jazz, gospel, funk, soul and African ritual chant, Sula, Oshun Ede and Andaiye — dubbed “New Orleans’ Female Vocal Sensation” — have been lighting up New Orleans stages for 14 years as a favorite at Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest and in the city’s top clubs. As well, Zion Trinity has being an inspirational presence at events including a post-flood healing ceremony, the female power celebration Ladyfest and their own recent three-day Fish Fry on Bayou Road — not to mention a memorable performance at the Harlem Jazz Club in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Zion Trinity showcases the deep roots of reggae, jazz, gospel, funk, soul and African ritual chant. The group was, Sula says, “established by the Creator in 1997 as a prayer group” and progressed into a group built around “powerful harmony and original music to feed the soul.”
They have been the opening act for Joseph Hill & Culture, The Wailers, Burning Spear, 
Lucky Dube, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Rootz Underground and Groundation.
The current project is their second CD entitled Spirit, Water, Blood which will include 12 songs (for the 12 Tribes of Israel) with all lyrics and music written and arranged by Zion Trinity. “The first album was released in 2003 and the fans are still keeping it alive,” Sula says. “We need to give them another timeless project that will feed their souls.”
The Zion Trinity band features Wanda Joseph (bass), Mario Tio (guitar), Cheryl McKay (keyboards), and Juan White (drum).
Guests on the new recordings include Trombone Shorty (trombone), Tanya Huang (violin), Bill Summers (percussion) & others.
