New Orleans, Vudu, and Marie Laveau: Sleepy History

In this bedtime story, I tell you about New Orleans, Voodoo and the famous "Voodoo Queen," Marie Laveau, who dominated Louisiana Voodoo in the 19th Century. We take a look at how different syncretic religions formed in South and North America, combining African religions like Vodun or Yoruba with Roman Catholicism and indigenous beliefs, or the particular blend that happened in Louisiana with the influence of Haitian Voodoo. We also explore the history of New Orleans since its foundation and what its unique culture brought to the world, including Jazz music.
