Creole Zydeco and Cajun
music star Geno Delatóse.
Geno Delafose, the leader of
a popular Zydeco band, French
Rockin' Boogie, is bringing his
band to Portland for a perfor­
mance on Wednesday, Sept. 19
at 7:30 p.m. at the PPAA Hall,
6I8 S.E. Alder St.
Delafose learned the craft
from his father John Delafose, a
legend in the Zydeco and Cajun
music genre, by first playing the
rub board when he was just 8
years old. He went on to play
drums and then the accordion, a
complex instrument that’s the
centerpiece of any Zydeco band.
Delafose finds inspiration in
the traditional Cajun and Creole
melodies, but he and his band
have crafted their own rich
gumbo by adding R&B, country
and blues.
