Wearing a black suit by Paul Smith, the Louisiana native sat in front of a white piano painted by his wife, Suleika Jaouad, as part of the local art program Sing for Hope, for which Batiste is a board member. The program placed 10 pianos designed by local artists around New Orleans’ Ninth Ward for anyone to play between Feb. 4 and Feb. 20 to celebrate the Super Bowl being in NOLA for the 11th time. “We bring these Sing for Hope pianos to our shared streets and public spaces because the context of where you experience music can profoundly change you,” said Batiste.
