@_Barry. John Fogerty of Creedance jamming on "Born on the Bayou with Bruce Springsteen and Robbie Robertson (of the Band).:
Genuine Cajun Music from the Louisiana Bayou. The Cajuns descended from French settlers that were driven out of Eastern Canada by the British. They ended up in the Louisiana Bayou. Beausoleil is probably the most famous contemporary Cajun band:
The Creole people are of mixed African and French descent and also live in the Louisiana Bayou country. Their music is called âZydecoâ and features accordians and the use of washboards as rhythm instruments:

Back from when I was a child this was one of the bands I enjoyed. Iâve been listening to it again for a little while just for nostalgia.
Then tonight I was thinking about it a bit more because one of the guys I work with got skin cancer on his face and had to have a cadaver skin graph. He was out for about a month while it healed and it looks pretty good but I couldnât help but think about this song.
Another one of the guys I worked with too at the same job who was, as many would say rough around the edges (my best friend there) had two people tattooed on his ribs(one of the most painful places to get a tattoo) that were stitching themselves together, almost completely. I went with him during this tattoo, the people were both actively using needles and thread to stitch themselves together.
Got me thinking about if this was possible and if it had been attempted in the past. Well with my great surprise, it is one of those things that hasnât been documented as attempted (besides in movies like the human centipede 
).
Anyways, check it out.
Also, their most famous song:
This is a little more of a deep dive into their music, much less recognized but one of the songs I enjoyed:

This is some of the stuff Iâd consider my shadow when ever it gets played. I was a deep diver to a lot of this kind of music when I was under the age of 10 after my step father died. Interesting times to think back on.
Had trouble finding the uncensored version (guess it was a little to extreme for the mainstream), 3rd time is a charm:

@_mbready. Definitely expresses and channels the collective angst and rage that so many in our world feel. I think thatâs a lot of what the harder edges of rock do for those who resonate with it. Itâs a big part of our collective dreaming. The question for all of us to consider. How can we use this energy for constructive change in our personal lives and in the world?

@_mbready. Behind the rage and angst in so much of rap music I hear the multi-generational trauma that goes all the way back to slavery times. We Americans have so much collective karma to heal.

The words of this song are based on an old slave diary about what she told her Slave Mistress when the Union army showed up to free them.
