You don’t just hear music in New Orleans and Louisiana’s “Cajun country”… you feel it, indelibly woven into the fabric of life. The strains of every genre you can think of – smoky blues, pulsating Caribbean rhythms, acoustic, country, rock, soul, r&b, nouveau swing, hip-hop and more... and, naturally, a tasty buffet of jazz styles – spill out of clubs along Bourbon and the Quarter and into the streets to take on a life of their own. The spirits of Satchmo and Jelly Roll permeate Basin Street and New Orleans Jazz National Park. Traditional jazz lives on within the homey confines of Preservation Hall and, of course, at funerals. Moving out to the bayou, you’ll tap your feet to a Cajun beat, zydeco and more...
