New Orleans soul is a musical style derived from the soul music which has a large influence of the Gospel (music). New Orleans soul has ingredients of pop music and soul and is influenced by boogie-woogie style. The songs always are accompanied by a pianoand a saxophone. Guitars are rare in this genre. It was popularized in the postwar era in the town of Crescent.

This genus stands out in its use of simple pop structures and Rock rhythms that have become very influenced by the "second line" and "parade" hits common to the city. The Caribbean music and Latin music from the 60, that earned a great importance in the city, also inspired to this genre of Soul to develop more exotic rhythms. Are also normal midtempo rhythms. The musicians give more importance to the music and sound that to the letter, which sometimes makes no sense. The choir is always feminine, with the participation of one or two women in it.^[1]
