About the group: Mo’ Mojo’s music is all about energy and heat — a music that is positive, energetic, and danceable. The group was formed in 1995 under the name of Zydeco Jones. During the past eighteen years the band has matured into an ensemble that takes zydeco and Cajun music and infuses it with Americana, reggae, rock & roll,funk, R&B, and African and Latin rhythms. In addition to their own originals, a Mo’ Mojo show includes staple hits from zydeco kings such as Clifton Chenier, Boozoo Chavis, and Buckwheat Zydeco,as well as the new zydeco funk sounds of Sean Ardoin and Keith Frank. The band also performs zydeco versions of pop/rock songsby the likes of Led Zepplin, CCR, and Ben Harper.The five members of Mo’ Mojo have extensive experience as music educators, and their education program provides an interactive overview of Zydeco and its many influences.
