Voice of the Wetlands Allstars
Voice of the Wetlands Allstars
The musicians above were already
working together with other volunteers to raise awareness of the erosion of the
Gulf
Coast
wetlands
BEFORE HURRICANE
KATRINA. Now, the loss of
South Louisiana
's wetlands contributes to the
loss of their unique culture, heritage, wildlife, people and their livelihood.
It is indeed ironic that these musicians and volunteers were bringing light to
the problems of erosion and potential storm damage to the
Gulf
Coast
at a time when the coast was
virtually destroyed.
Each one of the musicians
involved in the project appreciate the influence that
Louisiana
has had on them musically as
well as building their professional careers. They have continued to re-plant
seeds into the soil in which there music has grown from by working with the
youth and different out reach programs, and organizations that continue to
provide the longevity of
Louisiana
culture. The reason that this
may be the most important of those projects is because if we keep losing the
land we will lose the culture.
