COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Down in the Bayou submitted by Meginator on July 22, 2021, 9:20pm This album presents an excellent and well-rounded introduction to Cajun and Zydeco music, characterized by their bouncy rhythms and heavy use of accordion as a central melodic element. The upbeat and often madcap accordion and the lyrical content imbue the music with a distinct sense of place, full of heart and humor but not without its own unique sorrows as well. The artists draw on a huge range of influences from blues, polka, and reggae to a wide variety of folk traditions (and, seemingly, everything in between), but always seem to be in conversation with each other and with the genre’s roots. This style of music is utterly unique and hugely entertaining.
