They sound like Cajuns, most likely somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico.

FYI:
6.230 MHz is a simplex frequency (ITU Ch. 653)
6.214 MHz is a defunct shore station, might be WLO/KLB now (ITU Ch. 606)
6.214 MHz is also a distress/calling frequency

I think you may mean 6215... which is #606

For duplex in some parts of the world it is paired with 6516.

Additionally, I also see 6215 listed as #650 when used as a simplex channel,
so that would be in line with the usage as #606 when used as a duplex channel
paired with 6516.

Confusing at times!
