A monumental Smithsonian Folkways box set celebrates a pioneering accordion player who blended African American blues, R&B, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and Louisiana Cajun and Creole music. It’s titled “Clifton Chenier: King of Louisiana Blues and Zydeco.” Singer and accordionist CJ Chenier, Clifton Chenier’s son, and Adam Machado, producer and director of the Arhoolie Foundation, join us to discuss Clifton’s legacy and the retrospective box set.
