What intrigues me is New Orleans Cajun or French, I'm trying to understand it before I go there.

Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.
Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.
Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste
This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

Can't talk about New Orleans and not mention this great lady, and New Orleans native. Nothing French or Spanish here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMSWJxNlaww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06gAdro-62E The last recording I purchased by the Duke. The Duke was good at painting portraits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGZmE0dtb3k Cheers |
I’m more partial to this guy. Love it when he sings the blues in french. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqQkhA6zOCc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtvUKUWp06g He music is closer to the delta. Cheers |
NOLA music is all over the map; for me personally, we're back where we started; Jon Batiste plays what's most appealing to my taste in music which also incorporates New Orleans piano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCC1EEmJlo4 No matter how good Wynton Marsalis can blow the trumpet, he's composed very little that appeals to my taste. While he can play everybody else's music, where's his? What can you present that might cause me to reconsider? When I hear this music I visualize New Orleans; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx23PzFb1RU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlifDYDUuHI |
