Zydeco

Zydeco originated in Louisiana during the early 20th century, a delightful concoction of Creole, blues, and the sort of energy that makes you want to two-step, whether you’re prepared or not. Characterised by accordion melodies and the rhythmic clapping of washboards, it sounds like a lively party where everyone’s invited, even your slightly dodgy uncle. The genre has managed to worm its way into hearts (and festivals) worldwide, proving that all you really need for a good time is a bit of bounce and a whole lot of spirit.
