First Cousins explores the rich musical heritage of Cajuns and Creoles, South Louisiana’s French-speaking people who have shared tunes, swapped instruments, and danced in each other’s arms for generations. In private moments and packed dance halls, some of the region’s most beloved musicians reveal the passion they share for making music and carrying on family traditions. With roots reaching back to Africa, Europe, and French Canada over the past three centuries, the solid trunk of Louisiana’s Creole and Cajun music has flourished into a family tree with inextricably intertwined branches.
“A must-see for fans of South Louisiana music!” - Zachary Richard, Louisiana singer-songwriter and poet
“When fans ask me about the difference between Cajuns and Creoles and what makes Zydeco and Cajun music distinct, I hand them First Cousins!” - Chubby Carrier, Grammy award-winning Zydeco artist
