A Spicy Gumbo of Incredible Music
Whether you're a long-time aficionado or a recent convert, Dancing To New Orleans will give you a great appreciation for the amazing gumbo that is the music of Louisiana. More than any other place, Louisiana has influenced the development of American music; its rich and unique mix of diverse cultures can be recognized in most modern American music forms including Country, Cajun, Zydeco, Jazz, Blues and R&B.
Dancing To New Orleans is a tour of that fantastic musical legacy, from Shreveport's "Louisiana Hayride," where Hank Williams first popularized Country music, to Ferriday, where Jerry Lee Lewis played early rock'n'roll, to Acadiana, which gave birth to Cajun and Zydeco, to New Orleans-the birthplace of jazz.
With rare and captivating concert footage by influential musicians such as Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, BeauSoleil, and the Neville Brothers among others, hear from the artists, musicians, and craftsmen who are working to preserve their musical legacy, and see how the people, culture, and land of Louisiana have nurtured this music and created sounds that have forever impacted music and music fans around the world.
