Opening section of the French made documentary Louisiana Blues. Watch the entire film on Folkstreams.net. LOUISIANA BLUES is a 1992 documentary by French filmmakers Jean-Pierre Bruneau and José Reynès that explores Cajun and Creole music culture in Louisiana. The film features performances and interviews with well-known musicians including Bruce Daigrepont, D.L. Ménard, Lynn August, Michael Doucet, Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas, Wayne Toups, Zydeco Joe, John Delafose, Beau Jocque, and Canray Fontenot. In addition to dancehall scenes, the film includes home visits where musicians play informally, highlighting the music's roots in community life. It also captures lesser-known figures such as the elderly Romero Brothers, a rubboard maker, and a costumed Mardi Gras celebrant. Scholars and musicians—Dr. Barry Ancelet, Richard Guidry, Michael Doucet, and Bobby Michot—provide commentary on linguistic and musical shifts in the region, including the effects of Americanization and the evolving labels applied to the music.
