Zydeco is the driving accordion-led dance music of the Louisiana Creoles. Originally of French origin, it has been heavily influenced by American rhythm and blues, soul and, in recent years, rap and hip-hop. Zydeco is distinct from its local cousin Cajun, and continues to flourish in the rural southwest Louisiana prairie towns. Featuring zydeco legends such as Clifton Chenier and Buckwheat Zydeco, The Rough Guide to Zydeco presents some of the best Louisianan music, filled with the sounds of the accordion and the frottoir, a percussion instrument with an unmistakable rasp.
