New Orleans: Destination Music CD

Recipe for Cultural Gumbo

National Geographic's Destination series invites you to join an excursion into the rich rhythms and textures of music from the far reaches of our world. Enjoy the diverse mix of memorable music from these special corners of the Earth as you browse through some of the intriguing cultural facts and maps of each region (included in the enclosed foldout)—and then set off for YOUR destination!

Each CD includes world class artists, cultural information, a full-color map, and an historical timeline.


Blended from a mix of French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and American traditions, the Big Easy has a style and a sound that's truly unique. This collection offers more than just jazz, R&B, and zydeco; it is a welcome introduction to the many musical ingredients that exude the flavor of this magnificent city.
