This paper explores the relationship between place and music in New Orleans. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, it proposes that New Orleans musical practices are shaped by the combination of three pivotal factors: economic contingencies, a rich interactive network, and a deep-seated attachment to New Orleans. By focusing on musicians' agency, we examine how music is grounded in place, how displacement is incorporated in the place-making process, and the contestations at stake in the production of locality.
