Harmonious Rhythms
Culture as shared downbeat.
Rhythm in New Orleans is not background. It is contract — Congo Square to Preservation Hall, Treme story, second line demanding your feet tell the truth.
Poets and horns share payroll. Moonlight is not romance only. It is overtime.
Harmonious does not mean polite. It means many pulses agreeing long enough to call it a song.
The song keeps resonating after you leave the hall.
