New music
Going back to the critter band, we found out that they will be playing music on handmade instruments like the ones above in the Jazz Museum of New Orleans. Music, of course, will play a huge role in the attraction, and back to perform and score instrumentals is the original trumpeting performer for Louis (and seven-time Grammy winner) Terence Blanchard. Robledo discussed how important it was to have Blanchard back to score the various genres of music that the ride will feature, like jazz and Zydeco, Louisana’s blend of rhythm and blues. “To us, more than a ride, it’s the story and it’s the journey. It starts before we get on the boat and so we’re taking advantage of our queue to start that story, both through the audio and the music you’re hearing. That’s what Terence is going to be helping us with, to get people in that place at that time, in that region.”
