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!

Feufollet at Blue Moon Cafe

admin — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 11:30:00 +0000

Although Feufollet has often been hailed as the future of Cajun music, a more current assessment must admit that they are now the present of Cajun music. Once idolized at at early age for their precocious musicianship and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Acadianas cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young adults. While Feufollet remains central to the neotraditionalist brush fire they helped ignite as youths, their latest album finds the band coming into its own and pushing the envelope, leading the way once again as Cajun music extends itself into a new century.

Formed in 1995 when accordionist/singer Chris Stafford was 8 and fiddler Chris Segura was 11, Feufollet quickly developed a following in Acadiana, not merely for their youthful energy but also for their surprising musical maturity and instrumental expertise in the traditional music of the Cajun culture.

Feufollet continues to be known for excellent musicianship, beautiful vocals, and innovation based on a solid grasp of the tradition, making them one of the most exciting Cajun bands in Southwest Louisiana.

Over the course of the 10 plus years that they has been performing and recording, they have built upon their regional popularity, delighting audiences of all ages at folk festivals and performance venues throughout the United States and French Canada.

Feufollet can also be booked as part of Eye for Talent’s celebration of Cajun/Zydeco music, Fête de Louisiane!, along with Grammy-nominated Creole musician, Cedric Watson and his band Bijou Creole.

Another favorite song of mine by Hank William and also has been performed by many is
Jambalaya (on the bayou)

its a classic!

Good-bye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin’
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I’ll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

Hey, Cajun,
and you, Creole,
how come you call yourself
white or black? Who gave you these names?
We are descendants of the French, the Spanish,
the Africans, the Indian, the Acadian, the Haitian, and all the other Gombo People who came to
Louisiana.

These spices made the Gombo.
Our rich culture serves as our common bond.
We are of the same paprika blood, and that
blood connects us with the world.
If racists want to stick paper stars on our
skin to tell us what we are, let them
boil in hell with their foolishness.

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?

But my friend, do not throw away the spice
because it is too light or too dark.
If you do that you will not have Gombo
ever again, but a foul melted stew made up of
the denied flesh of your ancestors,
your grandmother, your grandfather, your mother,
your father, your sister, your brother,
your aunt, your uncle, your niece,
your nephew, your children, or
yourself.

Why are you obssesed with creoles?!
