    The King of Zydeco by Sidedoor: A Podcast from the Smithsonian

    In this episode from our friends at Sidedoor, a podcast from the Smithsonian: Clifton Chenier grew up in rural Louisiana watching how his father’s accordion could magically turn front porches into dance parties. When he was old enough to play himself, Chenier began blending the Black Creole music of his childhood with R&B and blues sounds of the 1940s and ’50s. Through rare archival recordings and firsthand stories, Sidedoor traces Chenier’s journey from a sharecropper’s son to the undisputed King of Zydeco.
