- In this video we take a look at who the Isleños were and their role in Spanish Louisiana. We also show some of the food that will be available at the upcoming Los Isleños Fiesta.
A lot of Cajun people came from the Canary Islands and other parts of Spain during the time of Spanish Lousiana. Great video. America has a lot of history and needs to be told. It isnt just the Mayflower.
Thanks for watching God bless
Yeah ya right!!!
Es un orgullo para cualquier canario que se sigan sus costumbres después de tantísimos años. Un fuerte abrazo desde gran Canaria ❤
Love that
Es un orgullo que a día de hoy, todavía sigan las tradiciones españolas. La época de mayor esplendor de Luisiana fué bajo el mandato español, y los emigrantes que llegaron dejaron un legado de cultura y costumbres. Honor para los cajun canarios.
Well said my friend thank you
Gracias por su aportación, un saludo desde Islas Canarias 🇮🇨🇪🇸🇺🇲
Hi, I am Canarian Spanish and I have recently learned about the Isleños culture. It's incredible that my ancestors, that came from so little islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, have been all around the Americas founding cities and towns, spreading their ADN and culture.
Very cool
Soy puertorriqueño y yo tambien tengo sangre de las canarias, pero tenemos comida diferente. Me gusta aprender sobre tus cultura.
Thanks for educating us on illustrating yet another beautiful Louisiana culture. But I tell you, those accents are straight up southeastern Louisiana. Love it!
Our heritage in today's world it is not respected to me that is a shame. Thank you for sharing really enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it
My dad's family were from the Canary islands
Absolutely awesome information. Why could’nt you be my history teacher! Great people, darn good lookin food🔥🔥, and a super cool host! Thanks for the video and can’t wait for the next one!!
Any time!
Awesome video Jared! I immediately sent this to my godmother that is from Broussard. Her fathers side of the family are Hernandez’s. descended from Hernandez’s from the canaries that ended up settling around Lafayette. She enjoyed it very much.
That is awesome!
Heritage de Islenios Louisane ,Salute ! RIP Capt. Noel Uzanez .
Thank you my friend
Great video you always make my mouth water 💦 dang. I’m coming down next year.
That’s always the goal. Thanks for watching
Outside the Levees Uncorked! I like wine and I have to say I have a real fondness for Spanish Red wine. It's Saturday night, 1920 what happed the the person that call everyone in the barroom a Cajun? I just love history. I could not understand what the stew was called. What other seasoning was added to the vegetables and pork? Another fun video with some great looking food.
It’s called Caldo. Creole seasoning mostly
Love Uncle Wimpy! I'm glad to see he's doing well!
Appreciate the history lesson Jared
He’s hanging in these. Thanks for watching
I visited Yscloskey+Delacroix Louisiana, these people are expert fishermen
Looks like good food and good times
Sure is! Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing your history and heritage it's awesome
Glad you enjoyed it
You can't know who you truly are if you don't know where you came from! Canary Cajuns! Cajunaries!! Got a nice ring to it! Uncle just called me a "coona$$"!
Well said. I prefer Coonass too
@@OutsidetheLevees I have to agree. Kinda partial to it after 40 years invested. Lol
I’m from north-central Louisiana ( Natchitoches) when ever I’ve traveled above I-20 I’ve been called a “ coonass “ but I’m originally from Mississippi but I’ve lived in Metairie back as a very young boy of 5 years old.
Love that soup i make it every winter when we get that first good cold front. Theirs no other soup like it.
It's so good!
@@OutsidetheLevees yes sir that it is
Los Isleños de Islas Canarias también se establecieron en otros países en América Latina y El Caribe, por ejemplo sentaron raíces en Puerto Rico y allá están sus descendientes todavía. Allá también encontraran andaluces, vascos, gallegos, valencianos, catalanes, hasta descendientes de portugueses, alemanes, finlandeses, británicos, afrodescendientes, árabes, judíos. Es todo un arcoíris de razas y descendientes de diferentes nacionalidades. Que Dios bendiga a todo el planeta Tierra eternamente. Amén....🕊❤️
I’ll be in attendance for the fiesta once again for my 6th year in a row.
Good video. We go to the camp inside of the levees at the basin . Lol. Always enjoy your videos of us south Louisiana folks. You represent us well
Thanks 👍 appreciate the support
Thank you for sharing this Jared!!!
My pleasure!
Great job Jared I just knew you could do it your videos are awesome filled with useful info and very well put together
I appreciate that!
Another GREAT video Jared, highlighting the history of 'Da Parish... well done amigo!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Phenomenal is the right word I could not said it better myself Very good video thanks Buddy.👌
Glad you enjoyed it
That is one of my favorites parts of the world. I would love to be eating a big bowl of the soup right now. We have a friend [Darryl Hicks] here in Jackson, TN that has a catering business. He is known as the "Cajon Cooker". He sells a lot of the south Louisiana food all over the US through Sisco Foods. I am going to get him to make some. Have fun, wish I was there. Be blessed my friend, love your videos. PB
That’s awesome
The Cajuns were kicked out of Nova Scotia by the British back in the day but they originated in western France
They sure did
@@OutsidetheLevees my dad was from Breaux Bridge
And some from Germany.....
Man some more good eats. We have the best food down here. Love to come to check it out just got so much to do here on the farm. Love the video, my family lived for many years in the early 1800s in Galvez La. before moving to SW Louisiana due to work in 1900. They fought in the “Colyell Guard” in the “War of Northern Aggression”
I believe Galvez was a Canary Island settlement as well
Love your videos, the food looks amazing. I lived in Broussard La in 1978-1979 and loved the culture and food. The women were very generous back then😎✌️
Dude I’m grinning ear to ear reading this. Bless you
Thanks a bunch. Nice job covering that. The food looked killer. Man, your killin' me, gettin' so damn homesick. Watching it snow AGAIN. Car is about buried.
Take a trip to visit
@@OutsidetheLevees Oldest boy in BSL Ms. Mid boy in N.O. East, yuk, planning on visiting youtube, Target Suite, in a month and swing down to see the boys for a camping trip. Hope to get in a little turkey, hog bow hunting.
Awesome history lesson. Mr. Don’s soup looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
This guy gets it 👍
Appreciate that
Love your history, culture, and heritage, Jared.
Always appreciate your support
@@OutsidetheLevees
Looks like a great weekend brother would love to come down but we are expecting our first grand baby grandson any time now
Congrats to y’all!
Wow this was new info for me 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve lived in Louisiana for around 52 years and have never heard of this festival
Lol. Now you have thanks to TH-cam. God bless my friend
@@OutsidetheLevees yes now I have thank you
Arriba la sangre isleña 💪🇮🇨
Yes indeed!
Thank you for the video, Jared! I was searching for a video interview with my cousin Bozo Couture. I think you did years ago, but I haven't found it anywhere.
I still have it. Send me an email I will send it to you outsidethelevees@gmail.com
I did some geneological research on my roots that led me back to the Canary Islands. The island was forcibly depopulated by the Spanish Crown in the 1700s and much of the people there went to three places: Cuba, Venezuela, and Louisiana.
Man I’d love to go to Cuba and see the influences there
@@OutsidetheLeveesDon’t know if you know this, but the ships full of isleños in the 1700’s going to Louisiana would stop in Cuba first and some family members would get off in Cuba and start a life there while their other family members went on to settle Louisiana. Also, one of the ships had a 3 year layover in Cuba in 1783 because of war and that happened more. And because of this, we are blood related to many Cubans and Cuban-Americans as a great many of them are isleño descent.
The canarians also went to Puerto Rico. An important aspect of our ancestry.
@@angelrivera-ru6zw Yes, absolutely. Puerto Ricans too.
Gran trabajo mi amigo!
Can’t thank you enough for doing this with me
Would love to speak to you. Traced my bloodline to the Mendez plantation prior to the exodus to Puerto Rico. My grandpa said we were from NOLA. Very interesting, I see some traits, though we picked up a lil extra from
Nola 😂😂😂😂😂
That's very interesting. I know there were a bunch of Canary Islanders that went to Cuba so maybe Puerto Rico as well.
Yes I’ve done years of research and my dna results will confirm. If so, I’m coming to visit Louisiana. May even drop a video explaining the history :)
wow im spanish and i never Heard about this
If you want to meet more Isleños descendants from Las Canarias go to Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. That Spanish is almost identical to the Spanish spoken in Nueva Iberia.
But me a plane ticket and I will go
I wonder what spanish last names are most present in the community
Too many to list.
Do more Isleno videos.
We already did a couple there’s a few more on here
Thanks ill have to look
Do you guys eat the cob of that soup corn? Might sound like a crazy question but here in Wisconsin, we grow so much sweet corn that there's no need to eat the cob.
Like the hard part under the corn?
@@OutsidetheLevees Yes sir...the cob.
Great video, but since when do Isleños from St. Bernard Parish identify as Cajuns (referring to the title of your video)? Is it our generation that started identifying as Cajuns? Why do people feel the need to Cajunize everything?
It really is a great video though. I just don’t know if they’d call themselves Cajuns.
In my business you’re not successful unless someone clicks on the video. You know as well I do the word Isleño doesn’t mean anything to 99.9% of earths population but “Cajun” is known worldwide. So it was my choice to use term “Spanish Cajuns” in order to pique the audience’s interest. Like it or not Isleño culture is very similar to Cajun. That’s why I chose to do that.
Been trying to get info on St Bernard Parrish they have not sent any info have tried twice
Have you gone to VisitStBernard.com
@@OutsidetheLevees yes but with no response
@@richardsheppard272 What is it you would like to know?
How did that stay standing after Katrina?!?
Also need to find that Delacroix shirt had a camp down there when I was little
I know that’s pretty crazy
Hey
Hey friend
Les falta el gofio amasado y las papas arrugadas y el pescado salado rico rico y el mojo picon
O M W 😂
See ya there!
The US threatened to invade and annex the Canary Islands during the '98 war
st.bernard is a great melting pot of people.
TYVM ! Great History ! I knew several "Islenos" WAY BACK in the day at N.L.S.C. Pharmacy School in Monroe and never understood the 'Hispanic' Family names....I always thought it was 'Cajun'
Glad you enjoyed it
I will be there later on Sunday.
Awesome. Drink some sangria for me
@@OutsidetheLevees Dude, I had the Sangria, I had the Canary Islands wine, I had the tapas, I had the fried catfish. The two dudes playing guitar on the porch of that bar were great. It was fantastic seeing my Spanish heritage celebrated, though I am from a bit farther north, the Natchitoches, Spanish Lake, Los Adaes area. Thanks for the tip to go!
