OVERVIEW: “NOLA?” shows the recording process of 10 tracks by F ermin M uguruza’s career in New Orleans and the situation ten years after
Katrina. “NOLA?” has many parallels with an episode of “Treme”: the songs are very well integrated, related to what the protagonists talk about. Music converts itself, in that way, into another character in the narration. The central thread is WWOZ announcer George Ingmire, also a documentary maker and author of various radio essays about the impact of the hurricane. With his critical and ironic speech he alternates the recording of the album with observations about the state of things.
