"Zydeco a Pas Sale" performed by Jeffery Broussard & the Creole Cowboys (www.jefferybroussard.com ) in concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org), Rockville, Maryland, USA on May 21, 2012.
Jeffery Broussard & The Creole Cowboys features the accordion mastery and soulful vocals of front man Jeffery Broussard, from the legendary band, Zydeco Force. The band delivers great, pack-the-floor renditions of Creole classics as well as their own brand of contemporary Zydeco.
Whether he is playing a festival stage in front of thousands of dancers, a small theater of seated patrons, giving an interview, teaching a lesson or playing at a trailride, his warmth, love of the music, and talent shine. Jeffery Broussard is well, the real deal. Dedicated to preserving and promoting the Creole culture and traditional Zydeco music, Jeffery plays with passion and commitment to carry on his daddy's legacy.

When Zydeco was made, the lord sent a angel down with a squeeze box and a rub board and said” Make the people happy! Make the people dance!”
You got that right, brother.
I just wish I’d found it years ago when I had the legs to dance.
But we all can still dance in spirit!
@@SullyOrange : me, too - well said!
perfection of description!

There is no happier music than this to me. Instead of a funeral, I want people to dance to this music, plenty to drink and eat. I want them to laugh and make jokes since dying is a celebration to me.
Rite on, a Celebration of Life shud b when a person is still alive! But nuthin wrong bout havin a pardy @ a funeral!
Amen!!
Yes, it's your homecoming.
I live in East Texas and we will hear zydeco music from our Louisiana neighbors from time to time and my Mexican dad goes crazy!
🤣
Us Mexicans have a lot of accordion in our cultural music although a different type of accordion the vibes still the same
It's family music representing the giving State of Louisiana..All the music is happy..
where are the young people caring on this tradional music? Such a shame this music will not be carried on and appreicated. It ain't rock, it ain't rap, it aint soul, it ain't country... but it IS your heritage. Keep it alive! .... or..... it'll die
It is country.
im 16 and ive been listening to zydeco with my grandmother since i was a baby, she died a few months back but i still listen to it, and remember the times we had. i dont play any zydeco instruments but id love to learn one
@@arsenalrooits not country
Happy to report, Mark that there are literally dozens of young black and Creole artists carrying on this music tradition, so not to fear! We've all worked hard to ensure our culture is not erased or appropriated by taking ownership of it. Done and done and I promise it's alive and thriving. I'm one of the OG's, and an 8th generation French speaking Creole who has worked very hard to get our music recognized and respected. Terrance Simien
@@terrancesimienandthezydeco3053 thank you so much for that, ive never looked into it, i figured it was dying out too
I’m as yankee as ya can get... NYC to the bone, being of Acadian decent this was my fathers favorite music, and this s$it right here brings a tear to my eye. If ya can’t dig this, ya ain’t got no soul.
I miss my father very much and one of my favorite things we ever did together.Will stay up late Saturday night and listen to zydeco music.What I would give to have that time again.
Well I`m as British as you can get,and I just love this music,can`t get too much.
I'm big city all the way, but this music seems like music to feel good about
Vive l'Acadie! Hail from the St. John Valley!
Louisiana boy here... Can’t beat it!!
As a Brit I just gotta say this music is beyond cool. Just amazing.
You can thank your ancestors as Britain won the war with France and established British North America.
The French Canadiens ... living in Acadia (in what is now New Brunswick), we're given the choice of staying and become British subjects or move to French Louisiana.
Acadian was eventually shortened to Cadian...then Cajun. Unfortunately for the relocated Acadians, France sold Louisiana to the fledgling United States of America.
@@dinojay8410 Very interesting. Great history lesson. Is New Brunswick a parish?
@BillVol ... a province (or state) of Canada...but it wasn't in existence at the time of the Acadian exodus ... they were part of New France ... which lost the war to the Brits on the Plains of Abraham (Québec City) ... they were given the choice of swearing allegiance to the British Crown or be resettled in Louisiana ... the remaining remnant of France in North America.
Yeah, we "get down" to this music in southern Louisiana. "Wed pick up the fiddle and pick up the bow, kick off our shoes and throw em on the flo(or), damced in the kitchen til the mornin light. That was our lLouisiana Saturday night . "..
We used to least ways.
Every weekend was family get togethers with the best food in the world (alot of folks say ) , and the family get togethers turned into parties. And everybody was welcome, it was good times back then. Before the govs ruined everything with their education, tek, enter net web , tell lie vision , and entertainment. The evil so and sos - they ruin and destroy everything good . Like the devil/ rebellion they are a part of.
Food and dancing .....delicious delicious
This is super cool, as a Mexican growing up and listening to accordion music, I really like this louisiana style
Yeah it's interesting. Accordion is rarely featured in American folk music. Mexican folk music, on the other hand...
I'm a Nufie, love Mexican and Cujin music.
See *"Whiskey in the Jar"* (Matalica) Nufie National Anthem.
The song "Mi Cucu" by La Sonora Dinamita is a Spanish cover of the zydeco song "My Toot Toot" by Rockin' Sidney.
And also with German music
@@mavjimbo That's a German lie hash up by racist not wanting to give blacks credit for starting all music genres. The Germans, Polish stole what you call polka from blacks and called it Polka ( Polish ) as their own.
Just like the Mexicans copied New Orleans Brass bands and called it BANDA as their own.
Its nothing new, Europeans stole classical music from blacks and called it their own even to the whitewashing of cats like Mozart & Bethoven . Think I'm kidding ? Google it.
In America blacks started rock & roll as a matter of fact EVERY form of music in America was started by blacks. Cumbias stolen from Cuba, I could go on & on.
This is how you can tell if someone stole an idea from someone and claimed it as there own.....if that person doesn't come up with a better idea later or a different idea that was as great as the one they claim than the original idea was stolen. That's how you can tell.
Have the Germans came up with a different genre of music that took the world by storm ? No.
Have the Polish came up with a different genre of music that has took the world by storm ? No.
Have the Europeans came up with a different genre of music that has took the world by storm ? No
Have the Mexicans came up with a different genre of music that has took the world by storm ? No
Have the Americans ( Caucasians ) came up with a genre of music that has took the world by storm ? No.
Now you you've been...........WOKE !
As an Acadian this touches me to the bottom of my heart.
I was watching a video of a guy in the UK driving his car to work and listening to some tunes (absolutely nothing else happened).
I commented on one of the tunes and some guy replied 'That's Zydeco' and I thought 'No. That's Racey (as in the band)'.
So I Googled Zydeco and ended up here.
Then I saw your comment and thought it was a play on words (acadian/accordion?)
I've only been out of bed an hour and I've already learnt 2 new things today (and stuffed my head full of decent tunes).
Gotta love that internet! 🤗
You can almost feel the history of Louisiana in their music. This is awesome music.
Yes. I am glad it's on. I am from Louisiana.
yes, well said.
This is like a pure Lotus flower
We Scottish grew up with accordion music. My grandfather from Glasgow sure could knock out the tunes. Fiddles aswell. Loving this music!! 👍
I’m 63 and only just now discovered Zydeco. This is so fun and full of energy!
I’m ready to live or die now!
I don’t know which- maybe both!
never once seen a Zydeco band that didn't constantly yell out "now that's Zydeco!!!". I enjoy it every time.
haha!
It could be worse
Zydeco is pure talent. Sadly, such talent will never receive the honor, or recognition, it so rightly deserves. What you witness in this video is sheer happiness, and a love of life. The Acadians of Louisiana are a simple, loving, talented people who find joy in most everything. They would "give you the shirt of their back," or "their last dollar." They also will serve up the best damn food you will ever eat.
Yes, they are simple.
Hello, McCC: I hope that just came out wrong.....or maybe you misunderstood my comments. My reference to the simplicity of their life was not a disparaging comment. It was a reflection on their goodness, and the fact that they are anything but pretentious.
@@edwardmunson3896 i agree wholeheartedly, I was just making a joke.
it will. it will. 🫶🏻🫶🏻😊😊
Nobody throws a party like the damn Creoles!!!! I had a Creole friend in college in South Georgia and between the music, the good food, he could cook, and the long nights i'm shocked we ever made it out with a degree
james crowe no
james crowe no
I love it when assholes try to tell you about your own culture, ain't that some shit
@@banko1808 right
@james crowe nah a wasp aint a creole a cajun aint a creole...
If this kind of music doesn't move you, you're dead.
For sure.
Or deaf !
This kind of music moves my bowels.
What I came here to say! Check yo pulse if at least your foot isn't tappin.
Sherman Brown accordion music is the best music
Im Mexican and i like this that accordion is 🔥🔥🔥
Ola hermano bienvenue en France si tu veux de l accordeon .. saluté dé fraancia
@@philippebeillan6962 es todo guey
some of the most beautifully hypnotic music to come out of America.
LOVE Zydeco music. Had a chance back in the day, riding through Louisiana to hear some ZYDECO and that is where I found my love for this style of music! Outstanding sound!
We hired Roy Carrier and the Nightrockers for a small wedding years ago, ate gumbo hung out all night, then saw him at the Big Easy club in Houston, they rocked that club
🤯 so good!!! They're all up there LAYING IT DOWN for like 50 cute old couples. This touched my heart on so many levels. I want to start every morning with this song. Zydeco has made me dance from a young age. Completely involuntary dancing. Your feet to start tapping and your whole body starts moving its a beautiful feeling. If you didn't feel that right there, you might not have a soul...
Greetings from Greece!
👋😊🇺🇲
As a Texan, I love this
Just found the 'Zydeco' in an Oxford Dictionary and decided 'why not?'.
Among my best decisions that week
excellent choice! you haven't heard good southern music until you listen to this stuff, and it's even better when you hear a live band in person!
This music makes my heart so happy and my feet can't stay still
I apologize for not having enough thumbs for my approval rating
I didn’t know that this great music and dancing existed! I love it!
Husband and I had never heard Cajun or zydeco music until we moved to Lafayette, LA in 1980. We arrived the weekend of Les Festivals Acadiens in Girard Park. It was a life-changing experience. Boudin, Clifton Chenier, Beausoleil, a lady with an "anatomically correct" frottoir... Poo yie, cher!
We hired Roy Carrier and the Night Rockers for a friends wedding...great show new friends hung out like old friends..saw them at the big easy in houston...blew the top off that place
Dont get much better than that does it!
I'm from Morgan City Louisiana it just brings back memories dancing to the the band on Front Street
From Australia, this is banging good time music. Next time I visit the US I want to go to a good Creole/ Cajun dance
They are the Best and most friendly people I known. They know how to throw a Party. Bring back many great experiences in Louisiana as a French Teacher in the Bayous.
Creole ain't nice. You crazy.
I remember growing up in Louisiana. Catching crawfish on the bayou with this music in the background. Great times growing up.
I dudn't know black people played this kind of music. I am a black American. No excuse on my part. I enjoyed the music and have learned something new.
Louisiana forever ❤
Much love to my brothers ❤ and sisters in Louisiana from South Texas. Nothing but love has been shown to me there
Music like this one makes America great again
This type of music takes me away from the nasty, vicious world we have somehow evolved into.. this music makes me like everyone - coast to coast. Viva the USA!!!
It's PURE Americana ❤ luv this country No where else do cultures clash like this Beautiful
Doesn't matter this is the umpteenth time, I've listened to this fantastic music. I just never tire of listening to the Broussard brothers.😉😉😂😃😃
What splendid music. So different and so refreshing.
I played Rubboard at a place for about 10 yrs...called "Pe- Te's Cajun Barbecue House"...I had the best time of my life...I was know as Rubboard Cindy...Zydeco Music is such happy music....by the way this place was open for 25 yrs.
A few beers a toke and the music awesome
Listen to that squeeze box..... let the good times role.
Laisse le bon temps rouler
He's bada$$
roll fool!
Both my grandparents were Cajun as f**k so naturally we love this music
Our parents Anniversary is 911 same date as the saddness of the WTC ATTACKS...WE ARE DEEPLY SADDENED BY THESES HORRIBLE EVENTS. WE STAND UNITED... JE VOUS SALUTE MARIE PLEIN DE GRACE, LE SEIGNEUR AVEC VOUS, VOUS ETES BENISSE ENTRE TOUT LA FEMME ET JESUS LE BENIT ENTRE VOS ENTRAILLE EST BENIT. SAINT MARIE MERE DE DIEU PRIEZ POUR NOUS PECHEUR MAINTENANT EST L'HEURE DE NOTRE MORT. AMEN
It just doesn't get much better than a good rollin', rockin' Zydeco song!!! It makes my heart sing and my feet tap!
I have Cajun ancestry, so naturally I love this music.
This is creole music, it has more African elements than Cajun music does
This music is amazing... once it gets inside your head you just have to hear more!
Raised in Louisiana it's in yo soul,
This is so amazing. I maybe born in New Jersey, but this Southern music is so cool
I love this type of music.
I do too!!!
C'est si bon. Metoo!
I'm new to it, but now i'v found it, I love it too
Not sure how it's taken me nearly 50 years to discover this music!!
Zydeco is the best, I can't help but dance anytime I hear it. It just wakes up the soul.
These guys are GREAT!
My brotha on the bass throwing down hammer ons and not even needing to strum. Bravo.
I saw that too! Pretty impressive
WONDERFUL if anyone does not LOVE this they have no soul. Thank you guys
Loving this from Perth Australia 😍
I absolutely love this bassist!
I'm British, passed through Louisiana once and knew nothing. Saw the film The Big Easy and I fell in love with the music ... Queen Ida, Beausoleil, Nathan Abshire, and more many more
I'm an Aussie, and you guys are absobloodylutely friggin awesome, keep the dream alive ya Legends 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Oh Yeahhhhhh. Love that Zydeco Music...LOUISIANA!!!
I’m just a northwest man having a few beers and listening to this good music in the garage, here in north Idaho 🤙🏼
The man on the board is really doing things
What a great show. I was returning home to Phila after my son's college graduation in Pittsburgh. I "detoured" a bit to catch this top-of-the-form traditional zydeco band play this buttkicking set for the folks at the Institute for Musical Traditions on the far beltway outside Washington DC. These guys (dear friends,all) helped me celebrate my kid's milestone... and we ALL had a blast! Played their asses off! It was in a beautiful Episcopalian church on a lovely wooded little patch. Gorgeous setting for a gorgeous performance. Classie Ballou, Houserocker Dan and Uncle Jimmy Seraile
Living in Louisiana - if you don't love this life, you gotta be crazy!
I went many years ago to New orleans and I loved Zydeko music
Thats what we ned. Happy music. Thank you. Greetings from Denmark.
He makes that squeezebox sound like an entire horn section. That's some good Zydeco!
They two-step in Heaven, ya' know.
Lots a waltzes too
This is my kind pf musik i am still from sweden but cajun is just Great....
I am cowboy here in Texas and the ONLY music my dad would listen to besides country was zydeco. I grew up loving it.
love this music
That's what I call music my friend. That's it.
Iam a texan..we got a legend here on that accordion. Goes by the name flacco.texas and Louisiana alot alike.it amazing.right next door.so different.but the same.lol.just saying.that accordion sounds like home.yall know the difference between a violin and a fiddle??a violin got strings. A fiddle got straaangs.lol.
Chicago born and raised on big band and Rock & Roll. Been all over the US and enjoyed local music everywhere. every kind. Nothing makes me smile and be glad to be alive like this music. Think about it. In the hall with some lovely girl and trying to keep up and having the time of your life. I have been to New Orleans and the jazz is unbelievable but I couldn't find any Zydeco. Must not be for the tourists.
Unfortunately, Jazz Fest, Inc. is more interested in big names, so the Louisiana artists have been pushed to the smaller stages or just don't play it anymore. Go west and slightly north from New Orleans to hear the real thing, both Cajun and Zydeco.
omg, I'm only seconds into this video and hearing that accordion warm up a little I know it's gonna be fantastic... but during these moments of warm up made me think that there's nothing better in this world than hearing someone play an instrument they've mastered. Now, I have 4 minutes and 26 seconds left to enjoy.. play on!
really enjoyed what you guys did. respect to mr washboard for maintain a rhythm with one hand while switching rhythm with the other... not an easy task!
Mf typed typed entire paragraph in probably 20 seconds cause they enjoyed the first 10 that much
Hi, I'am fench but from France, I'am new to Zydeco, but I love this version of this song.......keep going Jeff
Yes, I was expecting to break out into song - the strange French of Cajun.
The music originated in the displaced arcadians who were sent to the swamp lands of Louisiana. French by origin they brought this amazing sound to the world .
@@singleorapair5128 Acadians, not arcadians.
@@siegfriedpintar I was like "damn, I know most of the arcades have now closed down since the '80s and '90s, but I had no idea those people were all displaced!"
lets just look at this. from northern canada, have grown up on acdc, kiss, blah blah blah and these guys opened me to new abso fucking lutely awesome music. have to move far south and get my love of moose, deer meat out of my system and live the southern lifestyle. gator meat here i come
les broussards de nouvelle calèdonie on aime ça allez lache pas la patate
I love this music it started me going to Mardi gras and eating Cajun food!
With this lifestyle you can live forever!
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!!
I’m an Australian who just loves Cajun/zydeco. You guys are brilliant!
Aussie as well and love Cajun music!!♥♥♥
@@fayemcmeeken6086 its afro creole*
Aussie here too... We need more of it down here
honestly reminds me at times of some aussie bands like the dingoes and the murlocs
with the varied instruments
I’m a true northerner. Ohio as it comes. But I feel the heat and humidity in this. I smell the peppers and crawfish. I see the barefoot dancing. But I can also see the many pages taken from the music. Everyone from CCR to GG Allin. Rock and roll will never die
I seen these guys in fallon nevada sitting on my porch it makes you wanna move to the music I loved it
I first heard this band play when I was working and living in Lake Charles I sure did enjoy those days in my life. I miss the people the culture and the music. Thankfully I got to spend a good time there. Ayieeeeeeee
Going to Louisiana next year, after the first, down near Crowley, Eunis, Estherwood, Ebenezer Church Road where all the Vail's and Hinch's are from. What a wonderful area of the country. Good Food, Good People, and Good Times. laissez les bon temps rouler!
I think Cajun music along with country music is so freaking awesome!!! Would love to go back to Louisiana!!! There is plenty of alcohol, food, and some good looking guys.
I knew Jeffrey when he was a young kid, his mother's grew up with my mom near Opelousas,La. Jeffrey& his brothers played in their father's band Delton Broussard & Lawtell Playboys!! Musically talented family 💕💕💕
I live right down the road from Church Point in Branch
Come visit. My family is the Vails you are talking about. My dad's mom is a Vail. Welcome
Nashua NH was born in a snow storm. Not stick of Cajun..love love the happy joyful sounds of this music. 😊❤
Great music
This is so good it makes you move if you want to or not. My family and I saw an amazing band that sounded just like this down on bourbon st in New Orleans and hot damn they were going for about 2 hours playing so hard they nearly dropped but what a performance it was.
Love the tooth pick...tell you how serious my peoples are...ment a big meal before we play .laisse le bon temp rouler...
Wow who would have thought that a little concertina could rock out in the big mans hands. Love the modern day wash board. Never seen anything like that.
I DIG IT!!!! MY PEOPLE PERFECTED THE ACCORDEON , IM CHICANO, FROM CHICAGO, MY MUSICA IS TEJANO, PURO CONJUNTO , SOME SIMILARITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can see the appeal of this music, it's rhythmic , melodic and lively
This music always makes me happy, its that real Louisiana sound.
Love zydeco with electric guitar. Can't wait to get back down there.
I'm from Ohio and I tell ya what this Shit Kicks Ass Wowwwww
The intensity of their beat, fantastic.
Similar energy and feel to 3rd wave ska, I love it. ❤️
This music has brought me out of some really dark places
My mother's family was French Canadian. Grew up with it. Luckily I'm a virginian and my family settled on the eastern shore of VA. My mom and great aunt spoke French. Didn't tell my aunt we were French she'd cuss at ya it was French Canadian.
Love the accordion playing style man he can play he's got style got my feet tappin may just shake a leg well done boys
What a magical sound!greetings from England .
I listen to this music when I'm missing my Louisiana grandparents. Shout out to Evangeline parish.
That's some badass squeezebox!
