Craig and Kevin explore New Orleans’ massive influence on American music, from jazz and funk to R&B and bounce — and how cultural celebrations shape musical identity.They close things out with some broader industry talk:The evolving state of music festivalsUpcoming UK and Korean music awardsHow global recognition continues to reshape the music landscapeIt’s celebration, reflection, and global perspective — all in one episode.📱 Subscribe and/or follow us on your favorite streaming platform 📩 Got a 1998 favorite or a Mardi Gras music memory?
