Cajun and Zydeco Regional and Ethnic Styles

Cajun and Zydeco

Cajun and Creole music developed roughly in parallel in Southwest Louisiana. In the late 1940's, the music of the Creole's, influenced by jazz and rhythm and blues, added the vest frottoir (rubboard) to emphasize the strong rhythms -- and Zydeco was born. This category is for sites about both Cajun and Zydeco music.
