(Louisiana - Zydeco)

There is this other way of life in the south; a musical ethnicity that has simmered itself to a uniquely homespun flavor. Immersed in the culture since birth, Grammy nominated, Geno Delafose has lived the life of a true cowboy. He acquired the rub board at an early age and played with his father’s band. Later he picked up his own instrument, the accordion. Geno plays the single-row and triple-row diatonic button accordions for more traditional “French style” tunes, and changes to piano accordion for pounding out contemporary Zydeco.
