Docurama goes Cajun style with DANCING TO NEW ORLEANS
We have toured with Bob Dylan, bopped with Duke Ellington, and boogied with John Lee Hooker. Now, we will celebrate the rich musical heritage of Louisiana in our newest music doc, DANCING TO NEW ORLEANS. More than any other place, Louisiana has influenced the development of American music. Its unique mix of diverse cultures have helped nurture the sounds of many modern American music forms including Country, Cajun, Zydeco, Jazz, Blues, and R&B. And DANCING TO NEW ORLEANS is a tour of that fantastic musical legacy.

Docurama celebrates the "Year of the Blues" with JOHN LEE HOOKER
Before there was Hip Hop, Rock 'n' Roll, and even Jazz, there was the Blues. Born a century ago in the backwater towns of the Mississippi Delta, the Blues, with its hypnotic rhythm and primal sound, planted the seeds for most of today's popular music. Our latest music doc, JOHN LEE HOOKER: THAT'S MY STORY, honors the man who put the boogie in the Blues and gave it its groove - Mr. John Lee Hooker. To celebrate the 100-year anniversary of this uniquely American art form, the United States Congress has officially proclaimed 2003 the "Year of the Blues." But maybe it should be renamed the "Year of the Godfather of Blues," for the Blues would be nothing without John Lee.
