For zydeco accordion master Geno Delafose, playing the bluesy, rocking cousin of Cajun music was something of a family business. His father, accordionist John Delafose, led the Eunice Playboys and was one of the central figures in the ongoing revival of zydeco, the R&B-flavored dance music of the black ranchers and cowboys of southwestern Louisiana. Geno began playing rub-board with his father’s band at the age of 8, moving to accordion at 13. Geno Delafose has led his own band, now called French Rockin’ Boogie, since 1994, touring the world when he’s not tending the horses and cattle he raises on his Double D Ranch near Opelousas, 130 miles northwest of New Orleans. Delafose has recorded five albums since his 1994 debut, French Rockin’ Boogie. His most recent, Le Cowboy Creole, was nominated last year for a Grammy, the first in the brand-new Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album category.
