Dead Horse:

I agree that Iko Iko isn't Cajun music. See this excerpt from one of my posts to this thread:

"Contrary to popular belief, it [Zydeco]is not Cajun in origin; rather, zydeco is the music of south Louisiana's Creoles of Color, who borrowed many of zydeco's defining elements from Cajun music. (In turn, Cajun music borrowed many of its traits from Creole music.)"

I posted to this thread to address earlier comments about the lyrics to the Iko Iko song, and to provide additional information-for the record-about Zydeco and Mardi Gras Indian music.

And since I'm here now, I'm respectfully curious. Is the state of Louisiana the center of Cajun music? If not, where?
