Show Notes
Host Nate Wilcox welcomes Ned Sublette, author of "The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square."
Sublette's book is "a tale of imperial war, religious conflict, the search for treasure, the spread of slavery, the Cuban connection, the cruel aristocracy of sugar, and the very different revolutions that created the United States and Haiti" culminating in the magical drum music of Congo Square, sounds that echo on today via Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, Funk and Hip-Hop.
