4/2024....I was so lucky to have heard/seen Clifton perform in my home town,.....Columbus Ohio in the early 1980s, and then his son (CJ) took over and continued to get booked at our annual Jazz and Rib Festival. I'm 70 presently. I was a young buck,...in the 1980s. I am into all kinds of Blues music,....mostly Harmonica Blues music.

[@jodymorrison139]

ZYDECO TIME 💯

[@bsglopuhuh5970]

In the early 80s I went to see Bonnie Raitt at the Northrup auditorium at the U of Minnesota. She played a great set, but I thought it was a little short. I talked my music partner into going to the Union Bar in Mpls to see Clifton Chenier We got beers and joined the crowd. I then realized I was standing behind Bonnie Raitt. I leaned in and said "I thought you played a great set tonight, but it was a little short". She just turned toward the stage and motioned with both her arms spread wide. It was great night of music!

Spent meany evenings enjoying the King of Zydeco, usually at an almost all night rustic club outside Carencro LA. No offense, but it was referred to as "white night," as the club was exclusively black attended except for Wednesday. I still have Clifton's autograph and mucho great (although mostly foggy) memories...

Estoy aprendiendo acordeon y me encanta el blues...para acompañar está música es un instrumento maravilloso y si hay fusión louisiana francesa criolla el cielo está al lado enseguida..el acordeon puede tocarse como un bajo con los acordes como un piano en las escalas como una armónica entrando tras la voz o dando profundidad alargando el golpe de viento o con pequeños golpes junto al saxo ....puro arte

Could someone explain me the difference between Zydeco and Rythm and blues for exemple ? i mean in the sound ? I know that the origins are different, but the sound... (The only difference I hear, is the accordion, which is not common in r and b right ?) thxx!

[@JDru-tz5dp]

Zydeco music is birthed from the roots of the Creole people of Louisiana. We then added elements of R&B and other genres to keep the music relevant. Hope this helps Mathis!

[@brotherrabbit8539]

@@JDru-tz5dp Cajun music and zydeco do have important differences, but have much more in common.
