New Orleans, Louisiana - a.k.k. NOLA - was a crucial first point of cultural contact and cited mainly as the birthplace of jazz, but by the early Fifties, New Orleans was also home to a distinctive style of rhythm and blues. The difference was in the rhythm itself. Records coming out of the city began featuring an unusual blend of ingredients like tresillo, triplets, backbeat, two-beat and second line (or parade beat.)

love New Orleans and music athmosphere there. Every time I visit US I try to spend at least some days there. Greets from Russia, thanks for both historic and music voyages!

Excellent pandemic quarantine viewing. I'm not much of a guitar player, but boy howdy, this is a good video for piano players wanting broader horizons. Love the history lesson (spent a good bit of my childhood in New Orleans, saw James Booker on one of his good nights, never been the same since).

This was interesting. Not your usual boring speed metal tutorial. Good job guys. Let's learn where our music comes from :-) I'd love to see more from this guy on the Blues.
