Street BeatDrumming Below Sea Level

New Orleans has a drum sound unlike anywhere else on earth. It lives in the second line, in the brass band, in the improvised groove that runs through everything from jazz to bounce to hip-hop. But what is it, exactly? Where does it come from?

Street Beat: Drumming Below Sea Level brings together NOLA's most influential percussionists to answer that question — in their own words, in the city that made them.

Produced by Mid City Sound Studios and Fire on the Bayou, and hosted by Doug Belote, this 54-minute documentary is an intimate portrait of a rhythm that shaped the world.
