Many Mestizos and Garifuna have intermarried with Creoles and identify with Creole culture. Even members of other Asian groups are becomming absorbed into Creole culture.Thus, Cane River Creole typically refers to the descendants and heritage of the multicultural, multi-ethnic group who lived in the Red River area prior to 1807. Outside of the Cane River area, the term may be applied further to ethnically blended peoples (usually European combined with either African or Asian) of the West Indies, Southern United States, Vietnam, India, Europe and West and Southern Africa. Today, it is the intense pride in and attachment to one’s French ancestry, rather than race, that is key to understanding what it means to be Creole We are the Louisiana French, proud of
the French and African heritage. We are
European, African, Asian, and American.
Cajun, Creole. Let us dare to say it.
And all the worst for those who do not like
what we are. How long can they look at us and tell
us we do not exist?

Just keep crankin’ out that tasty Jambalaya!

2009 Steve Riley Mamou CMF Honoree

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:37:16 +0000

The 38th Annual Mamou Cajun Music Festival was held this past weekend (Aug. 15,2009) and Mamous’ own legend ,Steve Riley, was this years honoree. He performed for the large crowd at the Mamou Recreational Complex shortly after he was presented with his festival poster as a token of appreciation. He thanked many people who influenced his passion and love for Cajun culture, music and performing, including TJ Landreneau, Jamie Berzas and especially his family and friends. He said when he and his band, The Mamou Playboys, perform, it is so much more than just playing good music, its about proudly representing his hometown of Mamou.
This is a short pictorial dedicated to Steve Riley (and the Mamou Playboys). It does not cover the entire festival,only the honoring of Steve. All pictures were snapped by Mamou CMF staff members. The intent of this video is to honor and promote Steve as well as the Mamou Cajun Music Festival ( one of the BEST in the state). The following is what this impressive organization is all about :
The Mamou Cajun Music Festival began as a one-day festival presenting some of the local Cajun musicians to the citizens of Mamou and Evangeline Parish. It has since become what it is today, a two-day music festival, presenting traditional Cajun musicians, dancing, food, and contests. In the early 1970′s, some of the citizens of Mamou grew concerned that our culture was dying. These people felt that there was a need to renew the communities interest in our culture, thus was born the Mamou Cajun Day. In its beginning, some 20 or so volunteers presented this festival, which was then sponsored by the Mamou Area Jaycees. In the early 1980′s, this group officially became the Mamou Cajun Music Festival. On February 11, 1985, this organization gained its non-profit status as a corporation based on the premise that we would dedicate ourselves to the “preservation of our Cajun culture and heritage through our traditional Cajun music”. Our organization takes pride in the fact that we have been able to continue the traditions of our culture and have been able to provide a platform for the many traditional Cajun musicians in our area, in which they can gain exposure and compensation for their art. At the same time, this event promotes the preservation of our culture by gaining the interest of our children, the citizens of Mamou, and the many tourists who visit our festival from all over the world. All proceeds received are used to prepare and present the next annual festival to ensure our Cajun Culture lives on………. Our “Special Thanks” to all who attend and support our festival……… ….Mamou Cajun Music Festival Staff
