It's not black American music or originally from South louisiana. It came from France and creole people (french and African or native American heritage) put their own twist to it.

Good lookin out on the thread tho. People don't know about zydeco music. Most think its a form of bluegrass.

Zydeco is authentic Black American music. It all came together in post-French colonial Louisiana. Louisiana had already long been a slave state, and been through reconstruction and Jim Crow when the musical and cultural gumbo of Zydeco was formed. Any music before that, was just various elements of proto-zydeco music that hadn’t come together yet to create Zydeco. But Zydeco is Authentic Creole music with some of its largest ingredients coming from African descended slaves and mixed race creoles with African heritage.

Lake Charles is part of Zydeco Culture. Hopefully they can rebuild and get back to it.

Modern Zydeco as we know it was born in Houston born from migrants from Southern Louisiana in the Frenchtown section of 5th Ward Houston who modernized the traditional La-La music of southern Louisiana after they came into contact with the urban R&B and "downhome" style TX blues in Houston, hence it's association with cowboy culture and trailrides.
