Accordion Music – Can You Play Cajun Zydeco Music on an Accordion?
Of course, you can! Cajun & Zydeco music (popular folk music in Louisiana) is one of the most obvious kind of music that you can play on an accordion.
Here’s a short guide that explains this better: http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B-gCcNyPzYmcYzllMDhiMWEtNmE5NS00OGQ3LTk4OTUtNGE4YjU5M2JmMWFh&hl=en
Does anyone listen to music in other languages?
I like the Zydepunks, they are a New Orleans-based Cajun/Irish/Punk band. They sing in German, French, Spanish, Yiddish, and English!
So good!
I like Rammstein 
They are a German Rock/ industrial band.
I like to listen to it in German and then find out what it means in English.
When me and my Friends listen to them I am the only one that knows what the lyrics mean.
Lolz its nice to know things that you’re friends don’t
French in Louisiana?
I’ve learned that french(including the cajun dailect) is spoken in the south but only by the elderly why isn’t the youth intrested in there culture to learn it themselves i mean i am indian and i cant imagine not knowing hindi and punjabi. So why don’t they revive i mean for a will it won’t be that usefull but eventually it will come in handy right?
I am from Louisiana and I am half Cajun French and Half Spanish Canary Islander (Isleño) and as for French and Spanish in Louisiana being only spoken by elders and not the youth is because….Well, back in the day, the U. S. government outlawed all languages but english and punished children in schools when they spoke it and jailed people for speaking their native languages. Unlike today where the country encourages people of all races to embrace and speak their native languages ( like spanish on everything, just dial any corporate number and press 2 for spanish). In those days it was punishable to speak their languages. This is why many Whites don’t speak another language. We were deprived out of what the "new" immigrants get to hold on to. Quite a shame. I think if we had to endure that, then it should be the same for the rest today. Its only fair.
Could you tell me some good country songs to listen to?
I love country most when it is not too slow… slow country sends me to sleep… I also love bluegrass, cajun too and such, but right now I would love to find some good country!!
suggestions?
I’m listening to all you guys are suggesting and there’s some really good stuff here! love Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood… also love Hank Locklin. Country extreme. slow or not. very authentic that hank 
I just found out I LOVE authentic…
sugarland for instance has some good music, but most is rock, not country. nice to listen to though. … and I’m not done listening just yet…
Although Country Hall Of Fame .. is not my favorite of him… I like It’s A Little More Like Heaven. Very nice.
YEP, thanks folks, … Hank Snow… very nice. why is every hank at least reasonably good at country?
Taylor Swift – Picture to Burn (luv it)
