Zydeco Man

John Delafose
Zydeco Man
Cajun musician John Delafose formed his band the Eunice Playboys in 1975. To describe the band’s music, he said, “We call it ‘zydeco’ when we add a rockin’ beat to just plain Cajun music.” Their infectious dance music became popular both at church dances and in roadhouses along the Louisiana-Texas Gulf Coast. This 1980 release was his first recording for Arhoolie and includes his hit “Joe Pitre a Deux Femmes” (Joe Pitre Has Two Women).
