The bayou sings and the trees sway with the untold stories of many unsung heroes; including Louisiana�s amazing Zydeco musicians. The music is an extraordinary blend of the accordion; the bass and electric guitars; the drums; the rub or scrub board; and other instruments. It tells stories about finding and losing love; life lessons; and other revelatory events that rise from the skillful hands of musicians playing the diatonic and piano accordions. The diverse population of Louisiana creates a rich culture with Zydeco festivals; Creole foods; and the unique music that fills the air with a foot-stomping beat like no other. Louisiana�s Zydeco is a snapshot of some of the many musicians who live and play the homegrown music known as Zydeco.

There are points on which I disagree; and others where I think States is right on; but it is always thought provoking.

Enjoyed reading it!By Marie B.This book was used as one of the books for a class in scenography. I will keep it as part of my library. That is always a plus rating when the semester is over and you dont want to sell back your book! It gave me plenty to think about! I will reread it.
