Buckwheat Zydeco plays the accordion, an instrument that was invented in Europe but is used all over the world. When you squeeze it, wind blows through the reeds to make sounds. By pushing keys on the keyboard, the pitch changes to make music. Another instrument used in zydeco music is a rubboard, a piece of metal with ridges in it that you hang over your shoulders and rub with spoons to make a rhythmic, scratchy sound. Before the rubboard was invented, people would play on washboards that were usually used for scrubbing dirty laundry.
