	Encyclopedia of Cajun Culture - SWAMP POP
		Swamp pop appeared during the mid- to late 1950s, when teenage Cajun and fl Creole musicians began to experiment with modern pop music elements.
		The swamp pop sound is typified by highly emotional vocals, simple, unaffected (and occasionally bilingual) lyrics, tripleting honky-tonk pianos, bellowing sax sections, and a strong rhythm and blues backbeat.
		Slow, usually melancholic swamp pop ballads, however — with their heavy, triplety feel, undulating bass lines, climactic turnarounds, and dramatic breaks — exhibit the heart-broken, what's-the-use-of-living laments common to many traditional Cajun and fl Creole compositions, born generations ago of widespread poverty, hard-living, and the loneliness of a largely rural existence.
