When the Stars Fall from the Sky: Zydeco Force and "Saints Go Marchin' In"

Today's song will make you want to dance! The song is Saints Go Marchin' In by Zydeco Force. Formed in 1998 in Opelousas, Zydeco Force became a regional favorite in Louisiana and East Texas. They were featured in the award winning film Schutze Gets the Blues, filmed in the former East Germany, Texas and Louisiana. The band is currently inactive. Saints Go Marchin' In can be found on the 1992 compilation album Louisiana's Best Cajun and Zydeco Music. Of course, When the Saints Go Marching In is a staple of Louisiana and American music, beginning as an African-American Christian spiritual dating from the early 1900s and becoming mainstream after Louis Armstrong's 1938 recording. It has been recorded many times in many different ways, with this one giving it a Cajun twist.
