Music Voyager

Lafayette is the epicenter of Cajun and Creole culture, a place where infectious rhythms of zydeco and Cajun music echo across the bayou.

Shreveport is a crossroads between the deep African American traditions of the south, country music, Western swing, and rockabilly.

In New Orleans, the music and cuisine have much in common: both are spicy, fused with a multicultural mix of ingredients, and all you want is more.

We are treated to an unplugged performance by Aterciopelados, a ceremony with Arahuaco shamans, and a special performance by Fonseca.

Cali is the capital of salsa, and it is also the urban center of the country's Afro-Pacific culture. We begin by meeting with the band Grupo Niche.

The Medellín of today is a modern, thriving city nestled in a gorgeous mountain valley. There is also a thriving musical community here.

Music Voyager's journey stretches to the Caribbean coast to the city of Valledupar, the cradle of vallenato, a distinctly Colombian musical style.

Cumbia was born along Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Cartagena, on the other hand, is bouncing to the hot sounds of champeta.
