This podcast focuses on Louisiana Creoles & how we're connected to other Creole cultures across the world 🌎. We're all distinct yet we're all connected!

Lire un livre en créole est très utile

Epiphany on January 6 is marked by traditional cakes prepared only for this day.

Across different countries, these cakes are baked with a hidden bean, fève, or figurine inside, a custom that decides who is crowned, who hosts the next gathering, or who brings the next cake.

@MsLoveLiii The Cuembe rhythm from Bomba is the same rhythm as Toumblak in Gwo Ka.

Louisiana Creole, French Guianese Creole & Mauritian Creole resemble each other despite the large location distances. Similar French colonizers from the same regions of France & similar early African populations from Senegambia/Mali are likely what contributed to the similarities

Louisiana & French Guiana are connected

Check out this collaboration I did with @_DuSoir where we did a comparison of St. Lucian Creole & Louisiana Creole verb tenses. Although French-based Creole languages are similar they aren't the same language.

@RodneyPER So Mississippi rum culture is linked to Louisiana. Mississippi used To be part of the Louisiana Territory. The southern coastline is the last remnant of Creole Louisiana. Most historical records for rum in Mississippi would be under French Louisiana or Spanish West Florida.

[Kréyol Konèkt @kreyolkonekt]

As a Mississippi Creole I felt it's my duty to highlight the connection we have with the French West Indies. Circle Hook Distilling, a distillery based on the Mississippi Coast makes rum that's called "rhum agricole" which is a type of rum made in the French West Indies.

[Kréyol Konèkt @kreyolkonekt]

@RodneyPER Hmmm the word "agricole" is new in Mississippi but the method isnt new. We used to make "tafia". Some tafia was made like rhum agricole some tafia was made like industrial rum.

This is such a neat concept! I think we should make more videos like this as it would help people learn Louisiana Creole easier.

This is such a neat concept. We should do more videos of classic children's books. It'd make learning Louisiana Creole/Kouri-Vini much easier.

Although king cakes are a part of our Creole traditions you can find a merging of Creole & Italian things in this region. Example: Randazzo's king cakes. On the box it says "Nonna Randazzo". Some Creoles even have Italian ancestry.

@TaraH_11 @tatereeves This is not good. You can be an American & multilingual. Several countries are multilingual & observe multiple languages. I'm a Mississippi Gulf Coast Creole & I speak French, Creole & English. There's absolutely no reason to abandon my heritage to appease another.

A middle passage marker in Biloxi, Mississippi was unveiled. During the French period Biloxi was actually part of French Louisiana & was the 2nd capital. The 1st ship to arrive came out of Ouidah which is in what is today Benin.

For International Creole Heritage Month I'd like to clear up a common misunderstanding. Louisiana Creole & Louisiana French are 2 separate languages & they're both spoken by Louisiana Creole people. LF is a local dialect of French, LC is a language & not a dialect of French.

[Kréyol Konèkt @kreyolkonekt]

Credit to @groshyinkreyol for finding calas made with black eyed peas (cow peas) cited in the 1945 book "Gumbo Ya-Ya" (look at the bottom of the 2nd page here). So not only did we make them with rice but we made them like àkàrà in Nigeria & acarajé in Brazil.

Louisiana Folktales is a compilation of stories in Louisiana Creole compiled in the 1890s. The stories of "Compair Lapin" (Kompèr in modern orthography) connect Louisiana Creoles to the rest of the African diaspora because we all have similar stories of this rabbit.
