Re: Another culture/language site

The site is indeed interesting, although many of the words are standard french, and not specifically cajun.
Another thing that is interesting about the site is that it shows how many people are interested in their culture and the language. It is a language capable of expressing the most nuanced emotions and human situations but traditional music despite all it's spirit doesn't usually offer a model for involved contemporary songwriting.
When I listen to a song like Paul Daigle's "La Lumiere Dans Ton Chassis", or Zachary Richard's "Je Peux Pas M'Empecher" that tells a good story and speaks obout the emotionally complex relationships that people are living today.
I wonder who other people think are the best Cajun songs/songwriters?
