Zydeco Edit Meaning

1.

Zydeco Music is a unique form of musical expression that originated in rural southwest Louisiana. Locally known as "la la" music, Zydeco music was formed and forged in a time best forgotten--a time when African-Americans had to struggle in the fields from sunup to sundown as sharecroppers so that their children might reap a better life.

It was these backbreaking hard times that help to define one of the most vibrant and successful musical traditions in the world. The phrase "Zydeco sont pas sale'" means "The snapbeans are not Salty" in Creole French, and the music draws upon French, Creole, West African, Cajun, Caribbean, and R & B musical traditions. Zydeco Music is characterized by the use of the accordion, spoons, scrubboard, fiddle and triangle.

A form of good-time, R&B music that originated with the Creolepeople of southern Louisiana. Basically a fusion of traditional Cajunmusic with blues. Signature instruments are an accordion and a metal washboard stroked with a spoon for percussion. A zydeco song that went mainstream is "(Don't Mess With) My Toot Toot" by Rockin' Sidney. Eric Clapton's "Willie And The Hand Jive" (written by Johnny Otis) has a zydeco beat.

Clifton Chenier was "The King of Zydeco."
