Janae - I am New Orleans

I was born the Rebirth Band of Tremé

I gave New Orleans a new sunshine. A new Day

The Steamboats rolling down the Mississippi blew a revived new whistle embracing me into a new place i called home

I knew from that moment, I would never be alone

Im like the French Quarters, I have a different quality and an exquisite style

I make your every trip worthwhile

The diverse culture made me who I am today

Spicy as Tabasco and as sweet as a fluffy Beignet.

Katrina gave this city a new beginning in 05'

A new chance. Another way to thrive.


Coming back home to jazz singers and second lines

Celebrating the New City, that I once again called mine.

I am the party on Bourbon when I walk into your presence 

I am the connection of the Crescent. I am a true blessing.

Nothing else can compare to me. I am more than what the eye meets.

I am more than what the mind can imagine. I am a Saint.

HI, Im New Orleans
