Stalin is expanding to Cajun music - a favorite genre of mine, good one
Daniel Lanois is from the Gatineau Peninsula in Canada
It's basically a tragic song. He met a girl and said here's where I live, come marry me. Then he worked for years all day in the sun But then he got laid off and couldn't find work
The bottle became his best girl The kids and wife left him and moved to near Toronto
And now he spends his days in his basement hanging out on HardcoreAlouette.com and complaining about the Montreal football team and Justin Trudeau.

The Cajuns moved to Louisiana from Canada iirc. Acadians they were called, if I look it up I could be more accurate but why do that? My Ma's family was from Louisiana but many relatives remained in Canada. French Canadiens then moved to the logging areas of British Columbia. As a kid, we vacationed up in Powell River with all the Canuck Cajuns. OK I looked it up From Wikipedia The Cajuns (/ˈkeɪdʒənz/; French: les Cadjins or les Cadiens [le ka.dʒɛ̃]), also known as Louisiana Acadians (French: les Acadiens),[3] are a Louisiana French ethnicity mainly found in the U.S. state of Louisiana. While Cajuns are usually described as the descendants of the Acadian exiles who went to Louisiana over the course of Le Grand Dérangement, Louisianians frequently use Cajun as a broad cultural term (particularly when referencing Acadiana) without necessitating descent from the deported Acadians. Although the terms Cajun and Creole today are often portrayed as separate identities, Louisianians of Acadian descent have historically been known as Creoles.[4] Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population and have had an enormous impact on the state's culture.[5] While Lower Louisiana had been settled by French colonists since the late 17th century, many Cajuns trace their roots to the influx of Acadian settlers after the Great Expulsion from their homeland during the French and British hostilities prior to the French and Indian War (1756 to 1763). The Acadia region to which many modern Cajuns trace their origin consisted largely of what are now Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island plus parts of eastern Quebec and northern Maine. Since their establishment in Louisiana, the Cajuns have become famous for their French dialect, Louisiana French, and have developed a vibrant culture including folkways, music, and cuisine. Acadiana is heavily associated with them.

You can often tell by sight if someone is from Quebec by their eyes and nose
Very similar - what I got out of the article - Cajun music spawns the two step and waltz dancing and Zydeco is a wider variety of dancing, more instrumentation. Both rely heavily and fiddle and accordion - accordion to the article

I'm Swedish German English and Cajun
I want to conquer the world and eat crayfish
Zydeco > Cajun.
It's all about proper squeezing and fingering the buttons.
I'm quite certain @Doog_de_Jour would agree.
