专辑简介

The name Ardoin has been "legend" within the Creole/Cajun music community for over a century. Amede and Alphonse "Boi Sec" Ardoin are two creole musicians whose music influenced many, if not all, Creole/Cajun music heard today. Chris Ardoin, the next generation of many Ardoin musicians, has his own unique sound. He blends the traditional creole music with r&b, rock, jazz, blues, country, and gospel. Chris was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana where he still resides today and attends McNeese St. University where he studies engineering. He started playing the accordion at the young age of four and by the age of nine he had already played Carnegie Hall in New York. Though he is only 23 years old, this 5'11", 225 lb. man is a well seasoned and respected musician in all genre's of music who has traveled to London, Sweden, Amsterdam,Jamaica, Mexico, and even as far as Japan. Chris says, " It's amazing to see how many people are interested in our culture and to see it grow from barely regional to worldwide. The only thing left to do now is to get Zydeco to mainstream America!" Chris does not speak Creole (which some refer to as broken french) but plans to learn soon. The new cd, entitled "Save The Last Dance" has an awesome feel and solid production.
