Further to Murray's messages: if people he knows go to the Indian Ocean French island to learn French they are going to come back with something *very* weird. I have basic French, but my dentist and his wife/assistant speak Mauritian French patois in their surgery and the only word I have ever figured out is "amalgam".

Zydeco is everything I least like about cajun with added screaming distorted amplification to make damn sure that any trace of tune that might have survived the metronomic chug of the arrangements gets thoroughly obliterated.
