It was in Congo Square that enslaved African people gathered on Sunday afternoons to practice their ancestral traditions. Their legacy lives on in Congo Square Rhythms Festival, a free weekend celebration showcasing the music, food, and dance that made New Orleans known around the world. The festival begins each day with a drum circle, seen here, continuing one of the traditions that has happened in this space for centuries. #neworleans #wwoz #congosquare #drumcircle #africandiaspora #africandru
