⚜️Kick off your Mardi Gras holiday with an authentic Creole music experience!⚜️ GET BUY ONE GET ONE FREE TICKETS NOW! https://my.thecarsoncenter.org/2699/2700?promo=ZYDECO Discount applied at checkout. This Experience is one you won’t want to miss, so grab your friends, grab your beads and get your tickets today! Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience will kick-off a Mardi Gras celebration on February 25th at 7:00 pm. For 40+ years, Terrance Simien - a two-time GRAMMY award winning, 8th generation Louisiana Creole - has been shattering the myths about what his traditional Zydeco roots music is - and is not. It IS Black American roots music and it IS music born of the African American/Black and mixed race French speaking Creole of South Carolina. Zydeco is driven by African and Caribbean rhythms and has evolved musically over decades incorporating more popular genres like rock, funk, R&B and into the 21st century, incorporating rap and hip hop. This Experience is one you won’t want to miss, so grab your friends, grab your beads and get your tickets today!
