Zydeco & South Louisiana

The Acadians {Cajun}, from Nova Scotia (of Spanish, German, and Anglo descent ) settled and intermingled with the Indians in the area, in the bayou of South Louisiana, a French territory and some 'interestin' music was born. The music is a blend of the steel guitar, drums, and accordion.

These paintings of the Zydeco series, are tributes to my grandfather and his love of Zydeco music, which I finally appreciate
.

The flavourful blends of people from everywhere makes the culture bright, vibrant, and full of life.
