THE KINGDOM OF ZYDECO Originating in the bayous of Louisiana, zydeco music, with its African-Caribbean rhythms, French-English lyrics, and lively dance styles, is now heard around the world. This first book on the wildly popular Creole music sensation takes a red-hot look at the zydeco explosion from its earliest recording in the 1920s through its current boom. Stretching from the bayous of Louisiana to the oil towns of East Texas, the kingdom of zydeco is ruled by accordion-playing, washboard-wielding kings and queens named Beau Jocque, Boozoo Chavis, Queen Ida and - the King of Zydeco himself - Clifton Chenier. In this book, the leading expert on zydeco music provides the ultimate guide to this red-hot music and its origins. Click Here for this great book TOP
