Jazz: From New Orleans to the rest of the world.

The United States is the home of the artist, of a creative person, the home of that one that can bring something new to this world and sorprise us with it, one of the main reasons why the americans seem to come up with something original everyday is because of the confluence of different cultures and races. The most famouse jazz musicians come from the United States, in fact this music genre originated in African-american communities in the Southern United States, specially in New Orleans, in the late 20s. The African culture that their ansestors had passed them on was mixed with the different european rythmes and this is mainly how jazz was born.

Even though the origins of jazz are in the United States, after its big boom in the music world it spread all over. Nowadays we can find artists from all over the world and festivals are celebrated every year in different countries.
