Indian Summer Showcase: CJ Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band

C.J. Chenier is the Creole son of the Grammy-award winning "King of Zydeco" Louisiana pioneer Clifton Chenier. Following in his father's footsteps he now leads his father's band as an accordion performer and singer of Zydeco, a blend of Cajun and Creole music. Zydeco is the music of Southwest Louisiana's Black Creoles, a group of people of mixed African, Afro-Caribbean, Native American and European descent. This concert was webcast live on September 21, 2013 from the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
