Thread Name: What is Zydeco?
Subject: RE: What is Zydeco?
Murray Cajun with a lot more zest. Once your ears have absorbed its rhythms and beat, you'll be hooked. My first experience was Queen Ida and her Zydeco Band. A concert that defies setting still. We danced in our chairs. I believe Zydeco has Cajun origins and Clifton Chenier as Reggie says gets all the credit for it's invention in the same way Bill Monroe was the father of Bluegrass. This is not a BS category and belongs in the most serious of music threads.
