Creole Culture Revealing Past. Curating Present.

Last year, we partnered with ZYDECO EXTRAVAGANZA (save the date 5.24.2026) for a Get to Know artist series featuring some of the musicians who carry this culture on their backs. This segment highlights Step Rideau— Lebeau-born, Creole-raised, and proud of where he comes from. And that pride is rooted in something real.

Lebeau has a documented legacy in Zydeco history. It’s the hometown of Rockin’ Sidney Simien, the Creole musician whose hit “My Toot Toot” carried our music from the prairies of St. Landry Parish to audiences around the world. That foundation — that Creole backbone — is the same one artists like Step continue to move forward today.

We also want to congratulate Step Rideau & the Zydeco Outlaws and the entire community on the upcoming Louisiana Historical Landmark designation for Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and School in Lebeau, LA.

A place that shaped generations. A legacy still alive through its people and its music.

Follow Built On Zydeco as we continue telling the stories behind the sound.

Our Creole Culture gets borrowed, repackaged, renamed, and sold back to the world. Zydeco dancing? It’s ours. It’s lived — not performed.

Nothing on this page is divisive. We just refuse to bend the truth to make people comfortable.

And if you want to learn Zydeco the real way, go see Chris and ShaRhonda. They live this.

We saw a video claiming boudin is made with just pork butt… yeah, that’s not how we do it.

Here in our region, we’re home to authentic Creole culture. Don’t confuse anything we do with the commercial versions you see in other parts of Louisiana.

This is our life — uncut, unfiltered, and rooted in the way our families have always cooked. And yes… we all can cook.

This clip features Brice, Courtney, Jocorey, and Shane.

We know everybody out shopping for Thanksgiving… but let us remind you: all rice dressing is not created equal.

That old-school Creole rice dressing? Always the way to go. Don’t get fooled by that ground-meat dressing mix — that’s not it.

And as “Maw Kat” from New Iberia always said: "not too much liver, and always wear gloves."

Now one quick question for you…
Are you using medium, long, or extra-long grain rice for your dressing?

Sharing a few stills from our interview with Leon Chavis and Michael Dugas, grandson of Sid Williams, inside the world-famous El Sido's Zydeco & Blues Club.
For years, El Sido’s has upheld the long tradition of its annual holiday food drive — and this year was no exception.

Congratulations to them for another successful effort and for continuing to keep Sid’s legacy alive through service, community, and the music that built this place.

Thank you to everyone who came out, donated, and supported this emergency food drive. What we witnessed was our community stepping up for our community — and it mattered.

A special thank you to Rusty Metoyer for allowing us to partner with his Fan Appreciation Day and for using his platform to help families in St. Landry Parish. Deep appreciation to Why Play Trailride, DAB Health Innovations, and St. Landry Parish Government for standing with us and supporting this effort.

To every person who contributed food, resources, time, and energy — we see you. This only works because our people show up for our people.

Thank you to Jamal, President of Why Play, and Anthony, Vice President, for stepping up, showing up, and supporting our emergency food drive. They didn’t just talk about community — they brought food and helped ensure our families are taken care of.

Support the organizations that give back to the communities they serve.

Rusty Metoyer’s Fan Appreciation Day starts at 4 pm at the Yambilee Arena in Opelousas.

Every item matters, and every donation goes directly to St. Landry Parish residents. Community helping community.

Behind the scenes with Brice’s family boucherie. If you look closely, you’ll see it — the same group of men (Brice, Jocorey, Shane, and Courtney) showing up again and again. They come from different families, but over time they became family. The same hands, the same rhythm, the same trust built through real work.

Each man brings the way he was taught — different techniques, different approaches — yet all rooted in the same Creole tradition and leading to the same outcome.

None of this is staged, curated, or performed. This is authentic Creole boucherie and their real life. This is Creole culture — lived, shared, and carried forward.
