Do jazz aos direitos civis: um passeio pela herança afro-americana e crioula de Tremé
From Jazz to Civil Rights: Walk through Tremé’s African-American – Creole heritage.
Walking tour.
Explore the Tremé neighborhood on foot to learn the history of jazz, the civil rights movement and the communities past and present that shape this vibrant city. Your guided walking tour of Tremé, the undisputed birthplace of New Orleans jazz and the center of the city’s Creole culture will take you to another world. Some of the best known jazz greats from New Orleans’ Tremé neighborhood include Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Pete Fountain, Wynton and Ellis Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr, Kermit Ruffins, Danny Barker, Trombone Shorty, and Jeremy Davenport to name a few. Today, Tremé is still home to musicians as well as artists and craftsmen who contribute to the development of the ongoing neighborhood story. We will discuss the city’s modern brass band tradition. On a serious note, you will learn about this neighborhood’s key role in the rise of the civil rights movement. In fact, civil rights champions often gathered and dined inside the neighborhoods’ most famous historic restaurants! We will then visit St. Augustine Church, the oldest African American Catholic Church, where you can visit The Tomb of the Unknown Slave. On the lighter side, we will also see the only laundromat that made its way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Have fun spotting Tremé’s many famous movie and television scenes, notably the HBO’s popular 2010-1013 television series Treme, which took place in the neighborhood post-hurricane Katrina. We conclude the tour with our return to the French Quarter. Hungry? Your tour guide will be glad to point you toward some of the area’s historic Creole and African restaurants.
