Bow Legged Woman - CJ Chenier



I had to share more Zydeco. I know its selfish but I look at Zydeco as the result of some grand experiment where god mixed Arcadian and Africans and Natives and the result of this melange is this magnificent innovative outpouring of color and sound and imagery that lights up everything around it.

Enjoy!
