Laissez bon temps rouler

This film is a musical portrait of Zydeco King Clifton Chenier, who combines the pulsating rhythms of Cajun dance music, African overtones, and bluesy R&B into an irresistible melange mixed up in the sweaty juke joints of South Louisiana.

Shake It, Don't Break It - Clifton Chenier 

[lboogie1906]

Sherman Robertson (October 27, 1948 - January 28, 2021) born in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana is a blues guitarist, songwriter, and singer, who has been described as “one part zydeco, one part swamp blues, one part electric blues, and one part classic rhythm and blues.”

At the age of 13, he watched a performance on television by Hank Williams. Duly inspired and equipped with a cheap guitar purchased by his father, he started playing the songs previously performed by Freddie King and Floyd London. As he lived close to the Duke/Peacock recording studio, he took the opportunity to acquaint himself with some of the musicians who recorded there. In his late teens, he played in a band in various bars in his Fifth Ward, Houston neighborhood.

In 1982, Clifton Chenier heard his band playing at the Crosstown Blues Festival. He moved back to Louisiana, learned to play slide guitar, and toured for several years in the 1980s with Chenier. He contributed to his Live At The (1982) and San Francisco Blues Festival (1985) albums. After Chenier’s death, he played with Rockin’ Dopsie, appearing on his Crowned Prince Of Zydeco album (1986), and Terrance Simien & the Mallet Playboys, before going solo.

His guitar work appeared on Paul Simon’s Graceland album, and he was on the bill at the 1994 Notodden Blues Festival. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
