The first song in this video is my favorite. Its very cheerful and made me smile.

[@Northnodenajj]

I just learned about this style of music today in 2024 …. I have no attachment to it , but reading the comments , it’s so nice to see this was a part of people’s lives . This to me sounds like something from TV…. I love Louisiana Culture

[@JJPineda1114]

I lived in Lousiana for five years and lived in NOLA and spend some good time in Houma. The Cajun people are wonderful, kind hearted and authentic souls. And the food and music are amazing.

[@DrummerJacob]

Isnt it fun to just discover a whole new genre of music? And to think its 100% American and 100% Louisiana. I havent had a big musical awakening in awhile. I need to keep my ears open because im ready for something new :)

[@jimw.4161]

You need to plan a trip to Cajun country... I suggest you start with Lafayette, Louisiana. Plenty of good food and good music - you can't possibly go wrong.

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

If you're still listening to this in 2024, you're not alone and I love you! I'm from Texas but I love cajun music. Long live beautiful Luisiana!

[@giostisskylas]

My feet start dancing to the Cajum rhythm all by themselves. I have to be careful, otherwise I'll dance from Germany to the swamps of Louisiana. Cajun rulez!

[@gettotheGate]

Come on down! Do a little research and you find Germans and us are kinfolks!

[@jeanlindsay383]

I reside in Australia and visited New Orleans 1995 where I first heard this music that brought such joy to my life. It celebrates life as the joyous celebration it was meant to be, plus New Orleans and it's people, just the tops - loved everything about the people, the place and of course the music. Thankyou.💕💕💕

[@lorashurpik7644]

Ethnic music is always beautiful and full of life. With love from Siberia , we have many ethnic culture hear.

[@jarodarmstrong509]

Will always remember the years I lived in New Orleans and a few other spots in SE Louisiana. It’s a place like no other with people like nowhere else. Still tugs at my heart five years after leaving even though I’m now in NYC which has the same effect. It’s like being in love with two women at once equally

[@Adamguy2003]

Visiting New Orleans is on my bucket list!

[@stargirl6992]

Hi can you please tell me the best old town jazz bars around swampy areas around all the mystical parts are there any old time jazz bars near there?

i was introduced to this genre in san diego(1995 - 6) where the blues musicians butcher it so..then i went to nola and LOVED it more. such a happy genre.

I live in the Mountains of North East Tennessee and have a love for music and culture and this is me through and through. Great music and I love the food too.

[@deuxtroismoi]

I'm watching northen exposure on prime and they use this type of music. I think that's one reason people loved it so much. I could never identify the music when the show aired since the interweb was not available to the public back in the day. The close captioning told me the genre today 30 years later!! so I popped on here to find more. This type of music was also prominent in the twin peaks series, which I have tried to schzam with little luck. So I'm glad prime has northern exposure. It took 6 seasons for the cc to pop up the genre. I have to say I do love this type of music. However to me, it's more like polka music.. I have family in Europe and the polka music is inescapable. And I'm not complaining!!!! This zydeco music definitely has that polka sound and you just wanna get up and dance. It's so happy sounding. And that type of music is my favourite

Spent 30 years at Kessler AFB, Mississippi over 1/2 a summer. Got lots of Cajun music, good eats off base, and a trip or two New Orleans. Avoid the hookers and stay in a group and you could stay safe. Back before sun screen, hearing protection, and "Red" heat days. Wonder we survived!

Bienvenue en Louisiane .

[@jessealvarez779]

I ate the food for 39 years, thanks to my Grandma Inez. Butter, salt, garlic, bacon grease and hot sauce make everything taste good and must be good for you, because she lived to 103! I was fortunate to have her write all of her recipes down for me while she still could. I've managed to perfect the red beans and rice, so far...

Thanks for listening

[@adamdesanti6713]

So joyous and celebratory. Happy and uplifting tunes. Accordion, fiddle, banjo, guitar, upright bass, trombone, harmonica, snare drum, tuba... happy, happy, happy. I'm here listening to Conan O'brien's podcast saying he got his band for the show based on them playing a Cajun style tune. It fits his playful personality. I didn't know what Cajun was and typed it into youtube and this came up. Awesome! It's like a celebration of the simple pleasures in life but in a positive way. Food, drink, dance, song, friendship, musical joy. There's not a hint of angst or darkness in it at all. Great for the soul.

[@Recon985]

Please keep making these videos with uplifting music and moving pictures/images. Everything I find with moving pictures has super relaxing music that's not suitable for my work environment. I've been searching a lot for videos like this with uplifting happy music. Good job. 👍👍
