Houston's musical DNA is etched into its historic wards. The Third Ward gave rise to Texas blues, where Lightnin' Hopkins honed his sound, while the Fifth Ward's Frenchtown produced Clifton Chenier and the zydeco revolution. Warehouse Live and White Oak Music Hall draw national hip hop, indie rock, and R&B acts. The Bronze Peacock and Continental Club on Main Street keep blues and Latin sounds alive. From Beyoncé to Travis Scott, the Bayou City's hip hop legacy is its most visible export.
