>>"Hot Fusion in the Summertime: 'Zydeco Will Never Die'"
>>
>>All music, to a greater or lesser extent, is the result of the 
>>intersection and overlapping of prior influences, themes, and even 
>>forms of instrumentation. In his research on Louisiana Cajun music 
>>and the Afro-Caribbean musical form known as zydeco, Charles 
>>Stivale has noted the many instances of crossover both in the music 
>>and the dance forms, and his talk focuses on the complex forms of 
>>mixing, blending, and fusion in zydeco, the manner in which most of 
>>the artists of the 1990s - the so-called "nouveau zydeco" 
>>generation --have embraced the intersection of the zydeco rhythms 
>>and musical themes with compositions for a broad range of other 
>>traditions. Prof. Stivale will thus provide a brief overview of 
>>some origins of zydeco, and then with the audience's help, will 
>>follow how different contemporary musicians - Buckwheat Zydeco, 
>>Beau Jocque, Lil Brian and the Zydeco Travelers, Chris Ardoin and 
>>Double Clutchin', and Keith Frank and Soileau Zydeco Band - develop 
>>their music by appealing to the broadest possible fan base inside 
>>and outside Louisiana through borrowings across many musical forms 
>>- folk, hip-hop, rap, reggae, do-wop, and Motown. As part of the 
>>talk, he will also demonstrate some of the dance steps, Cajun as 
>>well as zydeco, that respond to the different musical beats of 
>>these traditions.
