Seems to me there are 2 distinct types of cajun music. All I can think of is Zydeko, what's the other one?

Thanks

Creole?

I also remember my older brother being interested in something called swamp pop back in the early 60's. I think that was cajun.

Seems (if I remember correctly) zydeko had more of a squeeze box and washboard sound and the other more of a a fiddle sound. When did Fiddlin Frenchy Burke become just plain Frenchy Burke.

what or who is zydeko?

 

[F350]

cajun has more fiddle, Zydeco has more ditonic(sp?) accordian, scrub board etc.

Zydeco comes from the creole phase "zydeco sont pas sale". translates "the snap beans aren't salty". clifton chenier was the first to call his music zydeco. i like all la. music.
