I grew up in south Texas. My father played accordion and we listened to a LOT of conjunto music, but also a lot of Cajun/zydeco music. We have a number of Clifton’ s albums. To this day my dad and I will occasionally say “this is my gee-tar player Paul Senegal, this is my uhDRumma’, Robert saint julie, and we also have jumpin’ Joe Morris on base”…… also listened to Guns N’ Roses, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Elvis, Hip Hop, etc, but I’m so grateful to know this music. Clifton and Cleveland, Professor Longhair, Dr. John and on and on. Thank you dad!
Poor Soul, May HE Continue To Rest In Peace, Zydeco Music Haven't Been The same Since This King right Here... Him And My Grandfather Were Good Friends, RIP Also To My Grandfather Houston Pete...

Man that was beautiful. Mr. Cheniere lived Nextdoor to my great great aunt in Lafayette for years. I remember back in the day they would say we going to the la la tonight nowadays they say they going to the zydeco. 😂
No more "Americana" than a dance in Haiti would be "Americana," we were here before the United States existed, much less before they bought us. Pa pli "americana" pase en bal dan layiti sre "americana," nouzo ja isi lontan lontan avan ye jamen gen en lezeta-uni, e sir avan ye ajet nou
@@ilikefreespeech3565 This culture had survived and remained vibrant *despite* a century and a half of American control and influence, seems kinda weird to then credit its cultural productions to the United States
@@colbylejeunedawg zydeco was made in America why do other black people always try to take American black culture stop. Layayette never had hatians they had they own black American creoles.

Clifton is NOT the original pioneer, but he IS the King of Zydeco forever!

Na it’s 100 percent Americana. I’m sorry you got bought. Maybe someone will buy you back? Doesn’t give you the right to culturally appropriate.
@@ilikefreespeech3565 not sure what your accusation is, but claiming non American music as Americana is pure cultural appropriation...
