Country, Bluegrass, Cajun, Zydeco Country Music is joyful, in contrast with the melancholic Jazz and the Blues. It contains the vigor and realism of the rural songs: Pains, love, illusions... there is much guitar and electronic instruments... but it is a song from the beginning to the end, with beautiful messages. Bluegrass, Cajun, Zydeco, are most joyful music. Bluegrass: It is a cousin of Country, but here the king is the Banjo, with mandolin and fiddle. It started after the World War II, originated by Bill Monroe. In contrast with Country, there is a normal absence of electronically amplified instruments. Cajun: It Is the joyful music of the Arcadians (Cajun comes from Arcadian). This people were French subjects in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. They were thrown out by the English, and they end up in Louisiana.
