No Creole Music?

I would like to revive the entry for Creole music.

Creole music may be rare but it is not the case that this kind of music does not exist today and is not performed today. It merits its own entry separate from Zydeco. Joining it with Zydeco would, I believe, mislead the reader.

Les Amis Creole were recorded in 2006 and they perform today. See the Arhoolie release page at http://www.arhoolie.com/titles/529.shtml. See the home page of Les Amis Creole at http://www.lesamiscreole.com/

Contemporary Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco musicians are discussed at the following page: http://www.lsue.edu/acadgate/music/musicmain.htm

See the entry for Joe Hall. He is identifed as a Creole Musician. He released 2 CDs of Creole music in 2006-2007 and one in 2003. http://www.lsue.edu/acadgate/music/hall.htm

Lawrence Ardoin and Morris Ardoin also occasionally perform Creole music. October 12, 2007 Npomea 18:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)NPomea[reply]

Clarity

This article seems to have some substantial information but the flow and use of boxes is confusing. I made some in-line citations and such to help move it along. Any suggestions for how to handle the list of songs? The article needs to get to the core much faster than it does presently.

Clarifying "Creole music"

I have just made a substantial edit which clarifies the bulk of the article's content as belonging to the art song tradition, as influenced by Creole folk/vernacular music. On the other hand, the previous version of the article did not (adequately) acknowledge developments in Creole folk music post-slavery, namely, la la and eventually zydeco. I plan to continue working on this article in the direction of building out a discussion of la la, and linking to zydeco as a modern Creole music. MiseDominic (talk) 04:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
