Zydeco
Zydeco is a musical genre of American folk music roots. It evolved in southwest Louisiana in the early 19th century from forms of "la la" Creole music. As of 2012, the rural Creoles of southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas, such as Cedric Watson, continue to sing in Louisiana Creole French. Zydeco music was born as a blend of Cajun music and two other "new" American music styles, blues and rhythm and blues.
