www.youthradio.org When Youth Radio's Jiarra Jackson talks about her native New Orleans coming back to life, she loves to explain how bounce music is the ultimate pick-me-up for young people. In fact, in the months she spent away from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, listening to mixed tapes of bounce music made her feel at home again. Bounce music doesn't come from New Orleans jazz tradition, explains Jiarra, it has a history all its own.
