  • The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco
    The Music of Louisiana: Cajuns, Creoles and Zydeco Carole Poindexter-Sylvers INTRODUCTION The music and cuisine of southern Louisiana experienced a renaissance during the 1980s. Zydeco musicians and recording artists made appearances on morning talk shows, Cajun and Creole restaurants began to spring up across the nation, and celebrity chefs such Paul Prudhomme served as a catalyst for the surge in interest. What was once unknown by the majority of Americans and marginalized within the non-French speaking community in Louisiana had now become a national trend. The Acadians, originally from Acadia, Nova Scotia, were expelled from Canada and gradually became known as Cajuns. These Acadians or Cajuns proudly began teaching the lingua franca in their francophone communities as Cajun French, published children‘s books in Cajun French and school curricula in Cajun French. Courses were offered at local universities in Cajun studies and Cajun professors published scholarly works about Cajuns. Essentially, the once marginalized peasants had become legitimized. Cajuns as a people, as a culture, and as a discipline were deemed worthy of academic study stimulating even more interest. The Creoles of color (referring to light-skinned, French-speaking Negroid people born in Louisiana or the French West Indies), on the other hand, were not acknowledged to the same degree as the Cajuns for their autonomy. It would probably be safe to assume that many people outside of the state of Louisiana do not know that there is a difference between Cajuns and Creoles – that they are a homogeneous ethnic or cultural group. Creoles of color and Louisiana Afro-Francophones have been lumped together with African American culture and folkways or southern folk culture.

  • Clifton Chenier
    Clifton Chenier Accordionist and Zydeco musician widely considered the „King of Zydeco,‟ (b Opelousas, Louisiana, June 25, 1925, d Lafayette, Louisiana, December 12, 1987). His father, Joseph Chenier, was a black Creole sharecropper who was an amateur accordion player. Clifton‟s uncle, Maurice „Big‟ Chenier, was a guitarist, fiddler, and dance club owner. It was from his father that Clifton Chenier first learned the accordion, and though he grew up playing the single-row push- button diatonic accordion, it was the large piano-key chromatic model for which he would become famous. Besides his own father, Chenier‟s earliest influence was accordion player Am‟d‟ Ardoin, the first known black Creole to have recorded. Chenier also found inspiration in the blues of Muddy Waters, Peetie Wheatstraw, and Lightnin‟ Hopkins, as well as the R&B of Fats Domino and Professor Longhair. Chenier grew up working in the rice and sugar fields of Louisiana but moved to Port Arthur, Texas, in 1947, with the influx of black Creoles to the Houston area. In the daytime, he worked for local oil companies while playing music at night with his brother Cleveland in a group called the Red Hot Sizzling Band. The Chenier brothers performed throughout the Gulf CoastLouisiana and Texas, from the late 1940s to the early 1950s. In 1954, Clifton Chenier was discovered by talent scout J.R. Fulbright and signed to Elko Records. By 1955, he and his new band, the Zydeco Ramblers, had moved to Specialty Records. In 1956, Chenier left his day job in order to devote all of his time to music.
