The songs of Louisiana’s Francophone and Creole heritage have echoed through the bayous for centuries, shaped by African, Native American, French, and Caribbean influences. Pasé Bél Tan: Francophonies and Creolities in Louisiana celebrates this living legacy through a bilingual publication that brings together historical recordings and contemporary reflections. Artists and scholars trace an ever-evolving soundscape that bridges a vibrant present with a complex past, opening a space for dialogue around identity, memory, and transformation within Louisiana’s rich musical traditions.
