Description
The great musical laboratory of the American South, influential New Orleans has played a major role in shaping American popular music - and soul music in particular.
Fantastic performers and producers mixed sacred and secular music, Indian, Caribbean, voodoo, jazz, zydeco...
New Orleans soul music was born by merging these influences with the language and emotions of gospel music, creating a universal language that has shaken the world.
In the 32-page booklet of this essential anthology, Bruno Blum comments on the metamorphosis of negro spirituals, blues and rock into pure soul Made in New Orleans with legendary performers such as Lee Dorsey, Irma Thomas, Snooks Eaglin or Eddie Bo.
