I wanted to share this large scale art show presently on display at the Smithsonian-affiliated Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans until August 1st. Please take a moment to check it out and see the overview below.
For over 18 months, Aubrey Edwards and partner Alison Fensterstock have dedicated their waking hours to creating the only archive of its kind; tracking down folks from a master list of nearly 80 artists/djs/label owners who played an architectural role in creating a very unique and specific sound of hip hop that was born in New Orleans. Please enjoy the site; it’s there for you to explore, to learn, and to listen to the narrative that defines a genre in the words of the people who created it. Feedback in the community forum is encouraged. This project is ongoing. There are many folks they have yet to find, and many amazing cassettes they have yet to upload to the archives.

i wish i could go see this! bounce is in my soul and body. i remember growing up when this scene was all over the radio.
if any of you are in New Orleans and get a chance to go to this then make sure to go to 'Bounce' night at the bike co-op on Chartres in the Marigny on Saturday nights.
