Even Geno's boots are cool. He is credited with helping to create the sound called 'nouveau zydeco' which is rooted in Creole traditional music w/ influences of Cajun and Country & Western. His Dad (John Delafose) was a famous accordian player...and Geno started playing w/ him when he was 9 yrs. old. He debuted his first CD in 1994. He lives in Duralde, LA...near Eunice where he was born and raises cattle and horses on his ranch there. Every year he hosts a huge, free picnic w/ Bar-B-Q for all his fans. |
