Chautauqua will celebrate the beginning of a week that explores the vibrant tapestry of folk music and culture with Nathan Williams, Dennis Paul Williams, Allen Williams, Djuan Francis and Clifford Alexander. The music of The Zydeco Cha-Chas is the expression of a remarkable South Louisiana family, and has been heard from Louisiana to Lincoln Center and The Grand Ole Opry. Nathan Williams was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and has since been honored with the Zydeco Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. The Cha-Chas are keepers of the Zydeco flame, committed to keeping their Creole heritage alive.
