The map also includes nearly 50 musicians who made notable contributions to Louisiana music but were born elsewhere, such as Greenwood, Mississippi native Guitar Slim and Houston’s Katie Webster.
The Louisiana Music Map also features 14 illustrated portraits which each represents a highly influential artist of a specific style of Louisiana music or region, such as D.L. Menard for Cajun music, Louis Armstrong for jazz, Slim Harpo for swamp blues or Clifton Chenier for zydeco.
