Franco-American Cajun, Zydeco, Northeastern

French colonist settled in Louisiana where they intermingled with natives mixing their two cultures into Cajun. Cajun music mix of two cultures, the French brought their fiddle and folk songs, the Natives high pitched style. Zydeco is a subset of Cajun music. Franco’s in northeast sang bawdy songs called gaulois.
