V.A. - Putumayo presents Zydeco & Cajun (2CD, 2000, 2001)

Date: 2 Dec 2013 19:48:08

Two putumayo albums with great commercial success, that showcase the fascinating music of Southwest Louisiana. Zydeco and cajun are close Creole musical genres that blend french, african and american cultures found in this particular area of North America. Quick and happy dancing rhythms, with blues and R&B style, mainly played by the old world accordion, guitar, bass guitar, drums, Cajun fiddle, occasionally horns and keyboards and the famous zydeco rubboard percussions. Enjoy two excellent albums with Creole music of unique beauty, by putumayo.

Zydeco is a satisfying survey of the fascinating fusion of French and African culture in Louisiana and features most of the genre's biggest stars including Clifton Chenier, Boozoo Chavis, Buckwheat Zydeco, Beau Jocque, Keith Frank, Geno Delafose, Chris Ardoin, Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, Queen Ida, and Zydeco Force as well as regional favorites Rosie Ledet, The Creole Zydeco Farmers and Jude Taylor.

Zydeco is the favored social and dance music of Louisiana's Creole population, who are the descendants of African and Afro-Caribbean slaves and free people of color. The related Cajun style occupies a similar place in the lives of a nearby white community, whose ancestors were a colony of French settlers called Acadians. Creoles are proud of their language, customs, and cuisine, and guard them fiercely. However, as time passes, zydeco has inevitably become heavily influenced by soul, R&B, funk, and gospel, although the time-honored squeezeboxes and metal washboards are usually still somewhere in evidence among the woodwinds, brass, and electric guitars. Among this lineup, the more traditional tunes tend to be the winners. Boozoo Chavis' "Lula Lula Don't You Go to Bingo" is a hilarious cautionary tale about the evils of gambling, while the riff underpinning Clifton Chenier's "Calinda" has been unceremoniously lifted by several rock bands, including the Rolling Stones in "Under-Assistant West Coast Promo Man." Joe KK and Zydeco Force contribute "Hootchie Cootchie," a roistering floor-filler full of fortune telling and macho bravado. The rhythms tend as much toward the straight-ahead stomp of Chicago blues as the more usual chug-chug preferred by the old timers, but even the more diluted tunes have a certain earthy, swinging something that screams zydeco from a mile away.

Spurred on by the commercial success of their Zydeco release, Putumayo World Music has offered up a second helping of Southwest Louisianan musical vittles with Cajun. Essentially the flip side of zydeco – which is a predominately Creole genre that's "a little jazz, a little blues, a little French, and a little rhythm 'n' blues" – Cajun music is a rural genre that has grown out of French folk songs and other European stylings. This follow-up compilation includes 12 cuts, each recorded by a different Cajun band. With lyrics sung in French, and melodies primarily played on accordions and fiddles, the contemporary Cajun groups featured on this colorful compilation should give the listener a good introduction into today's Cajun scene. From Filé's opening track, "Pont de Vue," to the closing number by the Jambalaya Cajun Band, Cajun's optimistic ideology – "laissez les bon temps roulez," or "let the good times roll" – beams through and through. Perhaps in an effort to reinforce this "good times" vibe, all but one of the 12 cuts heard on Cajun are upbeat two-stepping numbers that drive one to knee slapping. The lone exception, David Doucet's "Balfa Waltz," reveals the moodier side of Cajun aesthetics. Though some Cajun purists may wince at the lack of waltzes – and at some of the rock- and country-influenced cuts on the compilation – Cajun does provide a very good introduction to the genre as it exists today. Extensive liner notes – which offers an overview of Cajun music, a description of each track, and a recipe for red beans and rice – help make this release educational and savory as well.
