Camille - Rhythm

The rhythm of New Orleans is the music of the street performers. The sound mostly consists of Jazz and
tap dance. The reverberating beats are heard throughout the French Quarter and beyond. It’s a slow
tune that lets us know we’re home. The music of New Orleans will never cease as it creates a spirit that
is instilled in generations to come. It infects all those who live here or just come for a visit. Everyone can find a home in the New Orleans sound.

Camille, age 17
