New Orleans Funk is a genre of music that combines elements of funk, soul, jazz, and R&B. It originated in the city of New Orleans in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its heavy use of syncopated rhythms, horns, and call-and-response vocals. It is often associated with the Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans and is often seen as a precursor to modern hip-hop. It is also known for its use of improvisation and its incorporation of traditional New Orleans instruments such as the trombone, trumpet, and saxophone.
