Style of dance music originating in
Louisiana, USA, similar to Cajun but more
heavily influenced by blues and West Indian
music. Zydeco is fast and bouncy, using
instruments like accordions, saxophones, and
washboards. It was widely popularized by the
singer and accordion player Clifton Chenier
(1925-1987).
