Music of Cajun country enjoying unlikely renaissance | 60 Minutes

God Bless The Savoys

Great piece, thank you for showing our culture. More of this.

It’s so amazing to see my home get the recognition it needs and deserves!!!

I’m 51, retirement was becoming a big concern for me, I started watching your Videos just a month ago, took your advice on your previous video, and reached out to Cara Wiese. With her guidance, I opened my account and funded it with $9,000. Today, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve reached one of my milestones, $98,450. I’m incredibly grateful to you and Cara for helping me shift my mindset and act. Thank you 💯

C’est de la belle musique . Dommage que le francais ne se parle plus en Louisiane

¡c'est bon!

So when can we expect to see the IRS Investigation episode that you replaced w this one.. asking for Democracy..

how can you not tap your toe bob your head to a zydeco tune.growing up in Texas its always been a part of my life. Thanks mom

This used to be a good show. Now I’m lucky to stay tuned in for 30 minutes. They should stick to these type of stories and stay out of politics. Maybe it can regains credibility.

Living's easy? Are you sure you went to Louisiana?

Hilarious! As we move back to 1940's America politically, so we are culturally apparently!

Thank you for sharing our culture and music!

20 BBBBBBBBillion dolllllllllaaaahhhs!!! Trump gonna stomp tf outta CBS!! CEO gone, staffers gone…..😂😂😂😂😂😂

Damn that wasn’t the voice I expected out of Grandpa Savoie

Geno Delafose, Jamie Bergeron ,Leroy Thomas,Damon Troy, Horace Trahan,Buckwheat Zydeco, Rusty Metoyer, Gerald Gruenig gentilly Zydeco and many many more living and passed.. Beau Jocque once you really get a feel and taste of the music and culture it really brings people together!

Awesome! Ça C'est Bon like dat!

Love my State Love our Culture

Cajun fiddling is some of the prettiest, love those old tunes, must be my old French blood.

in central texas, check out slim bawb and the fabulous stump grinders.. you won't believe them....

Love my music, food, culture. I want to learn our language. Great segment!!

Not a single mention of Doug Kershaw...

Popular music becomes overproduced, unauthentic, and boring. So it always searches out "niche" sounds - they love old folk styles, already time-rested, and a free new set list. But before long they have to "personalize" it, evolve it and "fusion" it into whatever they already play. They take it over, popularize it - and make it overproduced, unauthentic, and boring. They've done it to Country music, Irish, even Sea Chanties. Hope they don't ruin Cajun too!

Oh, gee, Cajun music and culture has been rediscovered - again. It never disappeared, folks.

This is wonderful...and about time the rest of the country took notice! Fantastic Story.

Just the title of this video shows how narrow minded and up their own backsides these people are

Accadian.

I grew up in Beaumont TX in the 90s, and Zydeco has always been around. If you know where that’s at then you know. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

How can something be "very unique?"

Git genuine

Y'all are making me miss Houston! I think zydeco is more popular in H-town than in Louisiana.

Why would this be unlikely? It has always been a great thing.🦇

CBS has kissed the ring and took the knee. What else is new? Did they sign a cooperation agreement?

If you want one of the most beautiful Cajun songs listen to Sunset by Amede Ardoin. Happy one step by Dennis McGee is a gem also.

I'm reminded of David Lindley.

Prefer Zydeco

Make Louisiana Great Again

Love zydeco! The DMV’s on-air, weekly, zydeco program has been off the air for years.

I'm almost ready to get back to watching 60 Minutes every single Sunday evening...as I used to do before the politics took control. CBS Sunday Morning and 60 Minutes were at one time a unifying source of education.

I love Marc and Ann in the Les Blanc docs. Very genuine people who are incredibly passionate about preserving all things Cajun culture. “When you really love something you don’t change it, you leave it alone”
-Marc Savoy

Cajuns are the most fun people in the world IMO love from the Texas coast.

There have been Zydeco and Cajan bands in NYC for all LONG time!!! Everything old is new again.🎉

The Spanish let them settle in Louisiana. You didn't mention the facts. As fellow Catholics they gave them shelter since the Anglo Protestant East Coast colonies refused them entrance.

I don't like golf,
and I don't like swimmin...

I've always felt different being of Cajun heritage from both sides of my family but living out of Louisiana. All my family speaks Cajun and there I am a Landry without his culture

My parents were from St. Landry Parish, born and raised on Bayou Courtableau. They had to translate for me and my siblings to be able to communicate with my grandparents. My last one passed away in the '80s. Me and my siblings spent many weekends with that grandmother, without our translaters. We could'nt speak a word of French and she could'nt speak a word of English but we both understood the language of love and those weekends are some of my most cherrished memories of my life. I feel honored to have witnessed that living history. ❤

The music of the most racist electorate in the country. I am Cajun, and this cacaphony is easy to dump.

Excellent piece! As a Texan, I’m lucky it’s a 30 minute drive to enjoy SW Louisiana!
