"Terrance Simien is universally acclaimed as one of the most exciting
zydeco performers in America."
Boston Patriot
Terrance Simien, who has shared the stage with Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder,
Robert Palmer, Los Lobos, and Dave Matthews Band, is a Zydeco Master
dedicated to keeping the indigenous music of his native Creole culture
alive. Through a collection of mostly original songs, Creole for Kidz & The
History of Zydeco has reached over 200,000 K-12 students across four
continents. This unique multicultural music experience is mixed with a
touch of history recalling the early days of Zydeco, who the Creoles are, the
origins of the word zydeco, and the meaning of the Mardi Gras. Terrance
Simien’s music offers a colourful celebration of one of the most vibrant
cultures in North America.
