This is one location I would love to visit New Orleans. "Congo Square" sounds like a great name, I assume in reference to the French speaking location in central Africa, where many were shipped from to America and especially the Caribbean islands in the slave trade. Great read!
In New Orleans, European and African musical styles had a head-on collision in the 19th and 20th centuries which would eventually birth jazz, blues, R&B and funk on a grateful world.
