Biagia - Rhythm

The rhythm of New Orleans is…

Fast Paced

City life brings traffic and tourists

Who wander around the French Quarter

Admiring

The rhythm of New Orleans is…

Upbeat

Like the smooth jazz that fills the air

Bringing people together

Listening

The rhythm of New Orleans is…

Familiar

Acting as a home even to those who are

Just passing through

Inviting
