As the saying goes, “Laissez les bon temps rouler!” (“Let the good times roll!”)

It’s officially Mardi Gras, and as folks celebrate in Louisiana and across the country, it’s a great time to celebrate the rich culture of the Pelican State.

Good vibes, great food, and great music are a part of what makes Louisiana so rich in culture. New Orleans, in particular, serves as the epicenter of Southern music culture. From Dixieland jazz to blues & R&B to Hip-Hop and Bounce, there’s no denying that NOLA can get the party started.

So, grab a pączki, put some crawfish in the pot to boil, and vibe to some of our favorite tracks from New Orleans below!
