since when is zydeco the music of 'Creoles of color?!?!'


It's not, it's just a poppy version of "Cajun" music which itself doesn't have a firm definition.

Zydeco took the elements that define cajun music, the tempo, the accordion, the washboards, the refrains, and simplified it into a contemporary pop format - verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus.

That's all it is. To claim it's some deep ancestral music is more than a stretch.

I don’t really agree.

If you baws really want to know about zydeco, listen to JB and MC on Zydeco est pas Sale, tomorrow at 8 am on KRVS.

Then listen to Marche Matin on Sunday and hear the difference between zydeco and Cajun.
