Best known for helping pave the way for jazz, funk and blues, New Orleans staked its claim in rap with bounce music. The raw and energetic style was first heard in songs like DJ Jimi Payton's 1992 track "Where They At." Journalist Alison Fensterstock and photographer Aubrey Edwards join us to talk about an upcoming exhibit about bounce.
"Where They At: A Multi-Media Archive of New Orleans Bounce" is on display at Abrons Arts Center from Feb. 11 through March 27. Click here for more information.

Wow, this show was painful to hear. You talk about NOLA and queers and whatnot – could you not find anyone to represent. I know, you had the hook for the art show but, jeez, it sounded almost like a parody of clueless-ness. 'Let's talk about urban culture in a really academic and sterilized way' – that would be this evening's soundcheck.
I'm appalled.
it would be in your best interest to know what you are talking about before you make statement about something that you have little to no experience for. I come from n.o. and am one of the decendents of those tribes you say are not apart of our history.
i am as well a life long member of the zulu as well as sideline, and it is very offensive to state that," everyone knows that they are not indians." well, if you mean that were not from india then your correct. talk what you know and testify what you see......
