Hey ya’ll! I recently took a trip to the great city of
N’awlins, (a southern way of saying New Orleans) and needless to say they have
great music. The whole city is flourishing with culture. You can see everything
from local artists showing their work on the streets to fortune-tellers seeking
to sell their skill to you.
My main focus was nothing other than the music of course! I
could not help but notice that every time I walked to a new street corner or
past a bar there was the most captivating live music playing. New Orleans is
known for their brass bands and the sound that screams soul into your ears. You
almost feel a hypnotizing effect that draws you near, making it almost
impossible to not want to move your body in rhythm of the music once you are
inside.
My favorite spot for live music in the French Quarter is a
bar called The Spotted Cat Music Club. There are brass bands and local singers
who perform daily. There is even a small taco bar inside which sells pineapple
pork tacos, incase your hunger strikes, and I must say they are well worth the
try. Another music club that is worth checking out is The Maison. They feature
local bands such as Lagniappe, who have even recently performed their funky ensemble
in New York City.
If ever you decide to take the trip to NOLA, remember that
there is much more to see than just Bourbon Street. Take a walk down to Frenchman
and give yourself a treat to the best side New Orleans has to offer.
Above I have also posted a video I found of an actual brass band that you can find on Frenchman Street in NOLA. Hope you enjoy!
