EP 638. Born on Bayou Music, Keeping Cajun Culture Alive

We're roadtripping through Acadiana, exploring Louisiana's Cajun heartland, where French-Acadian roots, gumbo--and today's bayou rhythms--simmer together into one of America's most distinctive cultures.  Cajun Musician Jourdan Thibodeax grew up on the muddy banks of Cypress Island, Louisiana, where French, fiddle and bayou life melded together like the holy trinity in a gumbo pot. He talks about growing up, rhythms and inspirations of swamp living, how language shapes his music, the big difference between a fiddle and violin, a beyond-Louisiana world stage, and why it's important to him to keep Louisiana French culture alive--one we-are-our-past-inspired song at a time.    Connect with Jourdan Thibodeaux et les Rôdailleurs https://www.instagram.com/jourdanthibodeaux/?hl=en   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?
