Of all the young zydeco bandleaders to up the ante in South Louisiana's dancehalls, Geno Delafose stands alone in the appealing diversity of his music, and especially in his deep connection to the Creole culture of his forebear. Geno plays with the high-octane energy that contemporary dancers demand, and he isn't afraid to add a shot of rhythm and blues. Yet, traditional sounds are at the forefront of his mix, bolstered by his command of both French language and repertoire, and his triple-threat mastery of Cajun, piano and triple-row accordions. The nonstop groove of his French Rockin' Boogie band will make you jump!
