Jason Raymond Cajuns are creoles

+El Matador no it's two different things Creole is more of African American culture.

Tito Torres creole means native born mais cher ami. We all are Louisiana French. We come from mainly French that gave us the Acadian language, the spainiah that names Louisiana and the friendly indien D’ Amerique we married into as that saved us from starving then came the French creole Gen D’ Coleur

My Mom has relatives that came from Acadia, but then were exiled and went to Louisiana and opened a store there.

Not sure what town but I believe their name was Dupereaux ...(?)

Cajuns weren't really bothered by anyone until the 1920s. That's when the WASPS were in full swing. Before then, in the 19th century, they were generally at the same standing as everyone else.

In the 1800s they had it about the same as any other rural whites in the South, because the nation wasn’t fully connected yet and they could keep being French in relative peace. The early 1900s was when assimilation was forced and the language was almost eradicated. Nowadays people respect Cajuns and their language. But my great grandparents in Laplace refused to teach my grandpa any French, because when they were young they were beat if caught speaking it at school. I love the USA but I wish we’d kept our language

Agreed

Louis Georges Deschênes Cajuns are Creoles. Creole in Louisiana just means descendants of colonial Louisianians. The Spanish here are Creoles too.

@@IslenoGutierrez no cajuns are French speaking people from nova scotia creole is black, mixed and Indian this music belongs to the cajuns hence cajun music now there is acadian music and creole music like zydeco but this here is cajun music and you can definitely tell the difference between cajun and creole music they are similar but yet very very different

Have you ever listened to La Danse de Mardi Gras? It’s a medieval Breton modal song that some Cajuns apparently took from France to Canada and down to Louisiana. Listening to it is just a rush of feeling.

@@IslenoGutierrez You’re technically correct. But most Cajuns wouldn’t identify as such. The Creoles of New Orleans used to look down on the Cajuns, and so the Cajuns doubled down on their own unique way of life in the swamps

Wow, very cool. Even though im from nola it’s hard for me to identify the differences between Quebec, Cajun, and plain ol French French. What I can tell is how heavily Cajun and zydeco music are influenced by traditional French music-far more than any music from nola.

Annette Schexnayder Also, the surname LeBouef is French Creole (white Creole), not Acadian. The name LeBouef was present in Louisiana before the Acadians arrived. It’s misinformation that Cajuns are Acadians. They are a mixture of Acadians, French from France and white French that fled the slave uprisings from colonial Haiti, plus many have Spanish Creole, German Creole, English, Italian, Irish or Native American admixture. Really, “Cajuns” need to start calling themselves Creoles again and drop the Cajun identity because they are not Acadians. www.acadianmemorial.org/ensemble_encore2/cajunrootsc.htm

Did you ever see this old zydeco music video that they used to play on Sesame Street all the time back in the early 90's? I used to love this video when I was a kid, but I forgot about it for years, until the thought to look it up just randomly popped into my head yesterday, for some reason. The thing might as well be an old Louisiana Board of Tourism commercial. Here's the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c_SGKnw611k.html

@@Melissa0774 WOW Thank You I going to look that up I appreciate that very much 🤗

As someone who plays the music this makes me happy to see

How wonderful. I met him a long time ago. My third born son i named Nathan After him. Mr Abshire saved my life one day. And if not for him and some advice he gave me i would not be here writing this or would had any of my four children. You see i was a young man and very sad about sone things in my life. And i drove from Houston to Louisiana and pulled in a old gas station and was thinking about killing myself. But then a old man reached in my truck with a big hand and grabbed my shoulder and said don't you do that. He said i had a long road ahead of me and that to many people cared to be so selfish. Well we had our first of many talks. I owe a lot. Every thing i have. I could say lots about this man. All good.
