Episode 59 | New Orleans Bounce
Your introduction to NOLA music on the I Listen to Everything podcast begins not with jazz, but with an upbeat hip hop genre that began in the late 80s. Bounce music is a subgenre that was incredibly succesful in New Orleans but unfortunately took a horrible natural disaster in 2005 to spread to other areas of the U.S.A. You can hear the genre referenced by mainstream artists like Drake, Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Cardi B and even EDM DJs like Diplo but it will forever be indebted to the crescent city and the regional elements of New Orleans culture. Hope you enjoy!
