IRS990/Desc0WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, WE CREATED A CONTEMPORARY ANTHOLOGY OF LOUISIANA MUSIC IN FRENCH AND CREOLE. THE ALBUM WE RECORDED FEATURED 6 ARTISTS AND MUSICAL ENSEMBLES (REPRESENTING DIFFERENT MUSICAL GENRES FROM LOUISIANA) AND A TOTAL OF 12 TRACKS (35 MINUTES). THIS PROJECT, WHICH ALSO RESULTED IN THE PUBLICATION OF A BOOK (COMPILING THE TRANSCRIPTIONS OF THE INTERVIEWS WE CONDUCTED WITH EACH ARTIST) AND A SHORT FILM (PRODUCED WITH THE SUPPORT OF CREATELOUISIANA), AIMED TO DOCUMENT HOW ARTISTS PERPETUATE LOUISIANA'S CENTURIES-LONG TRADITION OF SINGING IN FRENCH AND CREOLE. OUR BOOK AND ALBUM ARE NOW ARCHIVED IN THE PERMANENT COLLECTIONS OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
