Product Description
New Orleans - Recipe for Cultural Gumbo - New Orleans, Louisiana's cultural epicenter, has historically served as a gateway to the mighty Mississippi River for travelers and traders, and as a melting pot for French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and American traditions. Blended from a rare mix of worldly elements, the Big Easy has a style and a sound that's truly unique. For most, New Orleans music means only jazz, R&B, or zydeco, however, this collection offers a welcome introduction to the many musical ingredients that exude the flavor of this magnificent city.

Purchased this album in New Orleans for $21 at the Presbytre museum, a historic building, dedicated now to info about Mardi Gras.

It is a true education. You have heard some of these numbers before but didn't know where or who were the artists. Now I am making a list of the performers to purchase their own individual albums from where else...Amazon, a best buys place for sure. The album was great!
