Various Artists - Classic Sounds Of New Orleans CD

From street parades to nightclubs, from churches to dance halls, music has been essential to New Orleans' unique culture. These sounds that emanated from the Crescent City have played a key role in the evolution of American music. Spanning improvised, polyrhythmic, call & response drum performances on the streets of Congo Sq. To symphony orchestras & opera houses that, although segregated, were open to whites, Creoles & slaves, some of the 20th century's most creative & influential music emerged from the expressive melting pot of diverse musical styles in New Orleans.Label: Smithsonian FolkwaysUPC: 093074018323Release Date: July 27, 2010Track List Just a Little While to Stay Here Shine-Hambone Tiger Rag Blackberries!
