Listen "Bounce Music: A New Orleans-style Dancehall?? "
Episode Synopsis
BOP IT.
Here, I contextualize Bounce music from New Orleans as an afro-creole genre that diverges quite a bit from its Rap predecessor... so much so that it bare a number of similarities with caribbean genres such as Dancehall (Jamaica), Dennery Segment Lucian Soca (Saint Lucia), and Bouyon (Dominica).
Regardless, Bounce Music is uniquely NOLA. It is one of a kind. It could have been only created given its intriguing cultural diversity.
