Creole Cowboys and Louisiana Cultural Identities with Drake LeBlanc

AcadianaCasts Presents:

In this episode of AcadianaCasts Presents, Filmmaker and Creative Director/Founder of Télé-Louisiane Drake LeBlanc takes us behind the scenes of his documentary Footwork, which shines a light on the untold stories of Black and Creole cowboys in Louisiana. From breaking cowboy stereotypes to exploring the rich tapestry of Creole culture through Zydeco music and dancing, we delve into the intersection of tradition and modernity.

We also discuss the unique role of storytelling in preserving Louisiana’s cultural heritage, the evolution of the modern cowboy, and how festivals and community events play a vital part in keeping these traditions alive. This is a celebration of Louisiana’s cultural identities and the power of its untold stories.
