Honoring the Legacy of Women in Louisiana???s Musical Heritage with CHELLE! & Friends
Inspired by Michelle Jacques’ deep love and admiration for the rich folklore of her birthplace, Louisiana, Daughters of the Delta is a compelling project that delves into the often overlooked and underappreciated contributions of women to the unique musical heritage of the Louisiana Gulf region.
