One of the sources of Zydeco is traditional French Canadian folk music...which features fiddles and accordians. You can definitely hear the roots in some of the music by bands like La Bottine Souriante which provides a wonderfully modern take on the art https://youtu.be/KYza0wxs7Ic https://youtu.be/KYza0wxs7Ic
