A Cowboy sings in French Creole .

A  documentary by "The Music Voyager" about the Cajun & Zydeco music with Cedric Wastson (nominee for 52nd GRAMMYs 2010).  Here is a taste of the Cedric's story...

                        Cedric and the Bijou Creole band are playing a song called 'La Vieille Chanson de Mardi Gras'. 

 
Here’s Cedric Watson on the fiddle jamming with accordion player, Corey Ledet.  Love that washboard.  I remember two trips I made with my friends (Mat and Manu) in the Bayou...

 
Live at the Blue Moon Saloon, the rare duo jamming it out Creole and Zydeco.

 Cedric:"I'm one of the few to sing in creole French but there are others doing the same as me like Geoffrey Broussard and the Creole Cowboys and Geno Delafose." 

His skill singing in creole is amazing when you consider that coming from San Felipe, Texas, he did not grow up in a French-speaking community. "I took some language courses on the Louisiana French Emergence programs run in Lafayette," he said. 

"So now I can speak creole."  He says the interest in creole French is coming back to the music.



Watson's second album is "L'Esprit Creole".
