Day 41: Celebrating Diversity with the Music of New Orleans

Destination: World Music Day New Orleans Style

Yes, we have music for today, but first things first! Look at all the places we've visited so far in the first 40 days --

Yes, we're half-way through our around the world journey!

If you count the stars there are not 40 because we've taken several days to explore music and sometimes we land in a place we've visited before. Since this is Day 41, then it's time for our second drawing. The WINNER of our second $25 gift card is

Marcy Henderson

Welcome to the 2nd half of our "Around the World in 80 Days" journey!

Now put on your dancing shoes as we get ready to explore the multi-cultured music of New Orleans . . .

"New Orleans Party" - This CD, released for New Orleans' Tricentennial and Putumayo's 25th anniversary, includes uptempo jazz, R&B and more that's guaranteed to let the good times roll!

New Orleans Party is a compilation featuring many of New Orleans' most widely recognized and celebrated artists. The album kicks off with local heavyweight "Big Al" Carson, backed by the New Orleans Heartbreakers, swinging away on the classic "Bourbon Street Parade."

The collection features New Orleans legends such as Dr. John and Dave Bartholomew, along with other luminaries who have contributed to the rich musical culture of this extraordinary and diverse city.

Get ready to tap your toes to the sounds of Dr. John. . .
