É um mundo maravilhoso: uma caminhada pela história musical de Nova Orleans
É um mundo maravilhoso: uma caminhada pela história musical de Nova Orleans
Highlights: Louis Armstrong Square, Storyville. (2h30 afternoon tour)
Begin your appreciation of New Orleans’ rich musical history with a visit to Louis Armstrong Park, dedicated to this iconic jazz trumpeter and vocalist and the New Orleans jazz tradition. At the outskirts of the French Quarter, this park is a preeminent site of musical and cultural history. Inside, visit Congo Square, where African slaves of the past gathered to sing, dance and celebrate. Close your eyes and you can almost hear their drums beating. Next, travel down Basin Street to see the few remaining buildings of what was once the backside of Storyville, New Orleans’ official red light district from 1897-1917. This area, once lined with upscale musical saloons, was the birthplace or performance venue of several influential jazz musicians like Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, and Pops Foster. In the heart of the French Quarter, pass by the Preservation Hall, founded in 1961. Our musical tour ends at the site of the former French Opera House—where everyone from the City’s elite to its poorest immigrants and African-Americans once donned their finest to enjoy a shared love of Opera. Whatever became of this beloved icon? Find out through a commemorative lounge display at the end of your tour.
