The Carriere Family
Zydeco by Birth
The history of Creole Culture in SW Louisiana cannot be told without the Carriere Family.
La-La and Zydeco became the underpinnings of Louisiana Creole music culture. The Carriere Family was there from its beginnings. From the share cropping fields to the La-La house dances of Bebe and Dolon to the churches, trail rides, Zydeco dance halls and beyond.
Zydeco by Birth will travel this journey with The Carriere Family.
