I put ICO ICO on my Cajun/Zydeco page for convenience purposes, but as explained below by my cousin Paul LeBlanc, it is a Mardi Gras Indian Song. I have other Mardi Gras songs that I'll post asap... Stanley LeBlanc www.thecajuns.com ***Note from Paul LeBlanc, my 5th cousin, once-removed!*** Ico Ico is New Orleans "Mardi Gras Indian" song. not Zydeco. Local legend - Indian tribes took in runaway slaves and intermarried. New Orleans People of Color honor them each year by dressing in elaborate Indian costumes on Mardi Gras & St Joseph Day. The song is about the non-formal routes the different Tribes (Neighborhood groups or extended families) as they walk the neighborhoods. Flag boys are the scouts looking for other "Tribes". When two tribes meet they have strutting contests.
