New Orleans is one of the most cultural cities of Louisiana. So much is involved that makes The Big Easy what it is. On Sundays, the city does their second line dancing, consisting of a lot of leg and foot work with a brass band playing so many tunes lighting up the streets. The above ground cemetery is one of the many attractions tourists tend to visit being that it sparked their interest. With the city having an exceptionally high water table, burials in relatively deep graves would result in flooding and the deterioration of the casket and remains.
Besides the deceased, music was another big thing of culture. New Orleans Bounce was the life of the party and was more raunchier, wild, and fun with more upbeats; remixing songs from other artists or having the city's very own rappers create their own music. Cajun-Zydeco was another. It consisted of line dancing and appealed more to the older generation, but the young ones loved it just as much. The ultimate favorites that people really visit for were the annual festivals such as Mardi Gras, French Quarter Festival, ESSENCE Fest, Jazz Fest and a new one that was called Buku Fest that was taking place currently. All year round, each festival takes place, bringing in hundreds to thousands of people from all over to have a good time. And once they visit for that first time, there's no doubt they are returning the following year for more fun.
But all those great things is the least of what makes the place what it is. The people or as outsiders would call them New Orleanians does.
Being from the city, it's very diverse. Amongst the entire southern region of the state itself is diverse; it's filled with Blacks, Caucasions, Louisiana Creoles, Cajuns labeled as 'seasoned white folk in the bayous of the west', Italians, Native Americans, and Hispanics. Without any of these people, none of this would be what it is today. Each of everyone has made contributions to this place; a place that was once beautiful but was destroyed by a category five storm—Hurricane Katrina.
Before she made landfall just three years prior, citizins evacuated the city as quickly as possible and some decided to stay and fight through it. That storm was the absolute worst killing thousands and flooding out the entire city including the metropolitan cities. From that day in 2005, New Orleans would never be the same...or so the people thought. Post-Katrina, the water had gone down and everything that was lost was getting rebuilt and reconstructed into new. Even though so much was lost back then, so much was to gain in the future. The effect it had on the people of New Orleans was indescribable. Anyone who watched the news could see the distress, the pain, and devastation that was caused, but it only made the people stronger and united as one to bring back the Big Easy all in once peace like before. Slowly, but surely.
