I was born in Port Arthur Texas and have always given credence to my roots. It’s cultural, not geographical. I have true Creole Pride that goes far beyond cuisine…its our way of life and my upbringing. I’m so grateful to God to have a RICH heritage.
"Your gonna look like a monkey" is my favorite.. Boozoo Chavis is underated. I first learned about zydeco when Rockin Sydney's Toot Toot went main stream early eighties. This music is alive! It makes one want to dance, move,do some chores, tap your foot..something!
Reminds of go go music in DC accordion is is where congos jamb block rotoms and cowbells and guitar chucking and the creole remind south Carolina low country geechies much love
Dad lived in Lousiana in his past life he says. I have memories going to cajun festivals in my childhood in Sweden. Jambalaya!! Food is like blues. The holy trinity. 3 chords. Then you improvise the rest. Thats what my dad says!!!
Reminds me of things my step daddy, Andrew P. Lebleu and the things he would say. From north of Lake Charles, Lebleu settlement. Long live all our Cajun roots in all our memories of those past before us.
