If you're in need of some good Zydeco, you've come to the right channel!! #FutureOfZydeco #ZydecoKid #ZydecoProdigy #UpcomingZydecoArtist
COMING SOON!!! Play Like LeDay - Lessons 24/7
I’ve debated doing this for 4 years now, but I think the time is finally right for me to introduce to all of you the “Netflix of accordion lessons” - Play Like LeDay - Lessons 24/7!
The idea started in the summer of 2020 when I enrolled in a masterclass and saw how many videos the person had uploaded, and continued to upload! I thought it would be a cool thing to do with accordion lessons. I started brainstorming and getting ready to do it, and that’s when we had the 2 hurricanes. So I stopped working on it.
The following summers were difficult for me to teach accordion lessons due to me teaching at camps, taking trips with the zydeco band I’m in, and people having busy schedules. That’s when the idea came back to me about doing the masterclass. So again, I began brainstorming, started filming, started editing, and here we are 4 years later!
As it sits now, I have 30 videos ready. I’ll be releasing 6 videos per month: 3 Zydeco and 3 Creole/Cajun videos. On the 1st of every month another 6 will be uploaded.
In a few days I’ll make a post with every song I have videos for and I will ask YOU what video you would like me to post so you can get an idea of how these videos are structured! But for now, enjoy this preview !
Registration for the masterclass AND the first set of videos for “Play Like LeDay - Lessons 24/7” will go live on Thursday, August 1st, 2024!!
Thank you Creole Culture for the video work!! 🙏🏽

What is Creole/Zydeco music?

In 2021, I entered an accordion contest and won first prize. I was asked to attend the awards ceremony, but couldn't because of prior obligations. Because I couldn't physically be there, I decided to make this video for Texas Folklife! In the video, I discuss what Zydeco is and how it's changed over the years.

Thank you!
Great stuff, i could listen to this all day long. Youre a very techniqal player, like jimmy breaux. ..and did i catch some vintage Zydeco Force in there. Great. Love it
Thank you!
wonderful ! greetings from Italy
Italy! Cajun accordions made in Louisiana use Italian reeds. Italy is where the best sounding accordions are made in my opinion.
You are not trying you are playing Great Job 👏 🎉
Thank you!!
Hey cousin you got this it sounds great 🎊 🎉
SOUNDS GREAT.
That’s my favorite Uncle my Dad Slim he was a Base player In Zydeco with John Delifose
We’re cousins down the line. Willis and my great grandfather (Clarence LeDay) were 1st cousins.
@@kalebleday9543 yes I grew up with the Ladays in Kinder 😍
@@kalebleday9543 Mr Clarence daughter Shelia was my BFF in school
That’s my great aunt
@@kalebleday9543 I love 💕 her
I can't wait when the Double clutchin live album comes out 🔥🔥🔥
Wow such amazing memories, we played that CD practically every day
Anyway, to me the music sounds in D - while the accordion is in A right? Can somebody answer ? Thanks.
One of the songs was in D, the rest were E, with the exception of one that was in C#m. For Cajun and zydeco music, the accordions are typically played in the 5th scale degree. Meaning if the accordion is a C, we normally play in G because the C scale is CDEFGABC. Additionally, when we’re playing a song in a minor, we take the relative minor of that main key (G) so now we’re in Em on a C accordion. C accordions can play in C major, G major, and F major but they’re limited in G and F because we only have the notes of the C major scale. With G, we have F instead of F#. And with F, we have B instead of Bb. With the minors, because we’re playing in C, F, and G major, we can play in A, D, and E minor.
Taking that knowledge and transposing to an A accordion, A’s play in A, D, and E major. The minors being F#, B, and C# minor.
I am not that versed on this but the most confusing here seems to determine the key of the instrument. Is he playing “cross harp” which sounds in the key of D !!!
Accordion is in the key of A. The first song was in C#m, majority of the songs were in E major, but one song was in D major.
WOW ! 🤠
WOW - so SOULFUL ! TY 🤠
Willis prudhomme is my grandad he passed away from coronavirus virus 2 years ago😭😭😭 pls always remeber him as my family does
He and my great grandfather were first cousins. We’d visit with him often as they were also next door neighbors. Reach out to me on Facebook (Kaleb LeDay) or Instagram (zydeco_kid).. I have some performances I wanna share with you of your grandad.
Thank you so much he was so nice and meant the world to me@@kalebleday9543
Sad when folks just want take a video and not really enjoy a great performance
I enjoyed the great performance and also recorded it because these reunions don’t happen often. Also, because this was the first time I’ve seen them perform live, I wanted to have a video to go back and watch as much as I want as I’m a HUGE fan of Chris & Double Clutchin’!
The first time I saw Chris play was when he was 13 years old in Beaumont, Texas..
This was my first time and I’m 23 lol. I was a baby when the band was in their prime.
