During the last class when we were discussing music coming from the south, this movie came to mind. For those unfamiliar, its a disney movie set in New Orleans. I think it shows throughout the movie a lot of what the documentary we watched in class shows, such as the differences in music, and the mixture of cultures. If you anyone gets a chance you should give it a try! Here is one example of the kind of music you'll find in the movie.

Great example! I didn't even think of that movie, but now that you say it so true. I think that movies, especially children's movies where themes are put so clearly, can really teach us a lot about a particular culture. This movie does give us a great look into the culture and life of those people in New Orleans.
