About Me

UNITING THE ZYDECO NATION!
Bold words no doubt, but it is our mission to unite all the different aspects of Zydeco music and elevate it to the next level. This MySpace profile is being created in an effort to spread the sound of Zydeco to the world and introduce it to a new audience who may have never even heard of Zydeco!
What is Zydeco Music?
Zydeco Music is a unique form of musical expression that originated in rural southwest Louisiana. Locally known as "la la" music, zydeco was formed and forged in a time best forgotten--a time when African-Americans had to struggle in the fields from sunup to sundown as sharecroppers so that their children might reap a better life. It was these backbreaking hard times that help to define one of the most vibrant and successful musical traditions in the world. The word "zydeco" means "the snapbeans are not salty" in Creole French, and the music draws upon French, Creole, West African, Cajun, Caribbean, and R & B musical traditions. Zydeco Music is characterized by the use of the accordion, spoons, scrubboard, fiddle and triangle.
