Zydeco music, that is. Zydeco is a bubbling, melodic gumbo
concocted from Cajun Acadian music, Afro-Carribbean rhythms
and melodies, and blues. Over the past few years, this funky
and highly danceable music has broken out of its Southern
Louisiana birthplace to enjoy widespread popularity
throughout the world.
Rockin' Dopsie (pronounced Doop-see), Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters are the greatest living practitioners of the genre. Dopsie, Jr. presents Zydeco with the conviction and authenticity of its rich heritage. His earliest musical memories are of his father's accordion playing. Dopsie, Jr. was given a basic accordion by his father at the age of nine. He taught himself to play, as had his father, by listening to and playing along with the radio.
