The best part of all Louisiana's great music heritage is that it doesn't exist only in the pages of history. It's alive and well down here. And any visit to our state gives you a chance to experience this fascinating and unique part of our culture through live music, discovering our great local musicians or merely enjoying some of our nightlife. Whether it's a guitar twang in north Louisiana, a fiddle riff in Lafayette or a trumpet trill in New Orleans, it will quicken the pulse.
