If Jackie's last post made anyone wonder what Zydeco is, you have to check out this video of a band playing at the Savannah Music Festival next week. They're called Jeffery Broussard and the Creole Cowboys. We're not sure if we'll be in town to see it, but hope to catch a similar act at some point on the trip.
Zydeco itself is apparently a musical style derived from Louisian Creole. Over the years it has adapted features of waltzes, blues, rock 'n roll, R&B, reggae, and hip hop, among other styles.
The official Zydeco Capital of the World is Opelousas, Louisiana. Guess who holds a key to that city? Why, Jeffery Broussard, of course. (Watch the video!)
