The Meters’ Resilient New Orleans Funk
New Orleans’ resilience is thanks to its music. The rich culture of the city would not exist without its deep musical traditions, and its musical traditions are just as dependent on the makeup of the place. Its songs are a reflection of its heritage (African, Caribbean, Creole, French, Native American) as well as the sounds of its streets (second lines, Mardi Gras parades, regional dialects, buskers). It’s the birthplace of jazz, but the origins of R&B, rock ’n’ roll and funk can be found in the rhythms, swagger and heart of its people. Though New Orleans has just under 400,000 people, the musicians here have always punched above their weight. These artists are consistently at the cutting edge and consistently steeped in history. If you look, you can see a throughline from Louis Armstrong to Professor Longhair and Fats Domino, from Allen Toussaint and Dr. John to Trombone Shorty and Jon Batiste.
