I’m 63 and only just now discovered Zydeco. This is so fun and full of energy! I’m ready to live or die now! I don’t know which- maybe both!

As a Brit I just gotta say this music is beyond cool. Just amazing.

You can thank your ancestors as Britain won the war with France and established British North America. The French Canadiens ... living in Acadia (in what is now New Brunswick), we're given the choice of staying and become British subjects or move to French Louisiana. Acadian was eventually shortened to Cadian...then Cajun. Unfortunately for the relocated Acadians, France sold Louisiana to the fledgling United States of America.

Yeah, we "get down" to this music in southern Louisiana. "Wed pick up the fiddle and pick up the bow, kick off our shoes and throw em on the flo(or), damced in the kitchen til the mornin light. That was our lLouisiana Saturday night . ".. We used to least ways. Every weekend was family get togethers with the best food in the world (alot of folks say ) , and the family get togethers turned into parties. And everybody was welcome, it was good times back then. Before the govs ruined everything with their education, tek, enter net web , tell lie vision , and entertainment. The evil so and sos - they ruin and destroy everything good . Like the devil/ rebellion they are a part of.

@@mavjimbo That's a German lie hash up by racist not wanting to give blacks credit for starting all music genres. The Germans, Polish stole what you call polka from blacks and called it Polka ( Polish ) as their own. Just like the Mexicans copied New Orleans Brass bands and called it BANDA as their own. Its nothing new, Europeans stole classical music from blacks and called it their own even to the whitewashing of cats like Mozart & Bethoven . Think I'm kidding ? Google it. In America blacks started rock & roll as a matter of fact EVERY form of music in America was started by blacks. Cumbias stolen from Cuba, I could go on & on. This is how you can tell if someone stole an idea from someone and claimed it as there own.....if that person doesn't come up with a better idea later or a different idea that was as great as the one they claim than the original idea was stolen. That's how you can tell. Have the Germans came up with a different genre of music that took the world by storm ?

I was watching a video of a guy in the UK driving his car to work and listening to some tunes (absolutely nothing else happened). I commented on one of the tunes and some guy replied 'That's Zydeco' and I thought 'No. That's Racey (as in the band)'. So I Googled Zydeco and ended up here. Then I saw your comment and thought it was a play on words (acadian/accordion?) I've only been out of bed an hour and I've already learnt 2 new things today (and stuffed my head full of decent tunes). Gotta love that internet! 🤗

Zydeco is pure talent. Sadly, such talent will never receive the honor, or recognition, it so rightly deserves. What you witness in this video is sheer happiness, and a love of life. The Acadians of Louisiana are a simple, loving, talented people who find joy in most everything. They would "give you the shirt of their back," or "their last dollar." They also will serve up the best damn food you will ever eat.
