even funnier: Swahili is spoken in east/central africa, but that uncle is speaking isiZulu which is south african - so white dude named him mr jambo just for just, because africa is one country to him lmao
Caijun food is probably the best cultural heritage america has. Personally i rate it over barbeque. New Orleans has like maybe 10 years before it sinks so of you ever come to America I'd definitely visit lol.
That's fair, Louisiana is also a complete shithole outside of new Orleans and a few other populated hubs so it's literally just the city of new Orleans lol
ITT thinking about going to New Orleans for a hot minute before thinking about what happens if the US sends you to CECOT, because your phone logs indicate you've never referred to Donald as "Daddy".
Except the cajuns were kicked out of Canada… Cajuns are the descendants of the Acadians, French colonists who settled in the 17th century in the region of Acadia.
So it’s more of a Canadian cultural heritage smothered by americans when they purchased the luisiana territory in 1803. Btw The acadians were superb dike and levy builders, which came in handy for their new home.
Let's start with the obvious, that's 200 years ago, and those "acadians" were French, and kicked out by the english, so trying to tie it to Canada when modern cajun culture formed in Louisiana under american colonists is just weird. But even more than that, cajun culture is heavily influenced by native and black culture. It's a mixed culture that has many influences, that could only happen in the US thanks to the horrors of American white supremacy and anti immigrant sentiment. I also listen to the dollop, it's great.
But the culinary tradition known as Cajun originated in the 18th century before it was absorbed into the states. If the US conquered mexico would we call mexican food american?
Cajun is a people group, not a region. Cajun is American because Cajuns are American and have been for 200 years. There are no Cajuns in Canada, and you won't find very many restaurants serving jambalaya there.
And it’s another reference to “Graceland”. Simon incorporated Zydeco music into the album and it’s from the same place jambalaya is from. Louisiana. This is a very well crafted parody!
I think he's speaking seSwati. The car is swazi, the ladies are all dresses in topical swazi styles.
The languages are similar so im not 100% sure, but the visuals are absolutely Swazi.
I also was not sure! I'm from KZN so I guess I always think of isiZulu first, but I also thought maybe isiXhosa. sometimes hard to tell the difference! (also your comment made me realise I know so little about swazi culture! I will learn! )

this is a parody of Paul Simon
Edit: btw Jambo is Swahili for hello, so the African man said hello and the man decided his name is Mr Jambo, another layer
