Sung entirely in Kouri-Vini (Louisiana Creole), Corey Ledet Zydeco's 'Médikamen' releases August 25, 2023. 24 July 2023
Corey Ledet Zydeco's Médikamen is his first zydeco album written and performed completely in Kouri-Vini (Louisiana Creole) as an homage on Corey's journey to reclaim his family’s language. This project was made with an aspect of creation heavily inspired by his ancestors and culture. It’s more than just his next record, this is art that he is proud of no matter the reception. Celebrating 20 years and being comfortable as an accordionist and songwriter, Corey’s reclaiming the language and making this music are two ways in which he takes part in Creole culture today. Special guests include Germaine Jack, Anders Osborne, Kermit Ruffins, and Grant Dermody.
