Steering wheel slapping music for driving to the polls
By James Conner
From the French language notes on YouTube:
The Bayou Chicot group was formed in 1994, bringing together musicians who have in common the love of Cajuns and their culture and who want to share it with those around them. It is to the sound of waltzes, two-steps and blues that Bayou Chicot takes you to Louisiana. Cajun music is basically made for dancing and partying. The band took its name from a town in Louisiana.
Below, Bayou Chicot performs Le Gros Guime A Sam (Sam’s Big Rooster), written by American Cajun accordionist and accordion maker Marc Savoy. You’ll love Bruno’s masterful impersonation of the rooster.
