Rhythm 'n' Bayous: A Road Map to Louisiana Music
Robert Mugge Music Films and Documentaries • Documentary, Music
Acclaimed “King of the Music Documentary” Robert Mugge takes his audience on a rollicking ride through Louisiana’s musical backwater bayous. Regional experts guide this trip from historic concert halls to po’boy joints, blues dives, zydeco clubs, gospel churches and intimate family gatherings, a process that allows Mugge and his crew to capture music in all four corners of the state – arguably the first time this has even been attempted, much less accomplished.
