Music
 Swamppop
or Swamp-popwas first started in the 1950's when musicians started mixing
the elements of cajun, rythmn & blues, gospel, and
rock & roll.....and oh yea, I'm a Louisiana born on da
bayou cajun. I remember
speaking cajun in school before I spoke english. If you
love cajun music, chances are you'll also love swamp
pop. Swamp pop was
given it's name by the British who liked the music from
the La. swamps and the popular mix of music of La.
Swamp Pop music is very
common in South Louisiana but, it can be heard all over the world via the
internet and websites like this
one!
Some classic swamp
pop is Matilda(Cookie and the Cupcakes),
Your
Picture(Johnny Allan), andHouse of
Memories(Warren Storm)...they all have that " swamp-pop sound
"....the triplet chords on the piano, saxaphones,
strong emotional lyrics...and that "feel good rythmn" of
swamp pop. Even the slow swamp pop
songs are danced kinda slow-fast because of the beat of
the songs....and of course the faster tempo songs are danced jitterbugged
style!!!
People I meet often ask what is "Swamp Pop Music".
The word "Swamp" stands for
the Louisiana swamps. The phrase "Pop
Music" of course stands for popular music. In
the 1950's to the late 60's the music coming out of
Louisiana eventually became known as "Swamp Pop Music".
Songs like This Should Go On Forever, Mathilda,
Sweet Dreams, Lord I Need Somebody Bad, Crazy Baby, Red Red Wine,
I'm a Fool to Care, Blueberry Hill, What am I Livin' For, South
To Louisiana, Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Lonely Days and Lonely
Nights, Don't Take It So Hard, I'm leaving It All Up To You, Send Me
Some Lovin, Just a Dream, Just Because, Feed The Flame, Before I
Grow To Old, Shed So Many Tears, and The jukebox Songs. The list
goes on and on. The "swamppop
music" coming out of swamps and bayou land of Louisiana
reached it's peak when Rod Benard went on Dick Clark's
"American Bandstand". Swamppop music was
overshadowed by the Beatles when they toured the
USA. Swamp pop music is now enjoying a new comeback with
the help of the world wide web!!!

Hi Morgan .......The swamp pop music is Great ! The more I listen
the more I likes it. I get
the feeling of being out on a
Saturday night dance hall. Wow…… you guys there in
Louisianna must have a ball each
weekend.
Favorite tracks.-……. Well I
have mine and I´m pretty sure
that the audience of mine don´t think I´m that wrong. The complete album
is a airburner with a very
good selection of swamp music. Everytime I put on a track I feel the same
... playing this kind of music. It wonderful
and a great break from what I´m used
to.... Lars, MCWC Radio
