content: Dan Sheehy (presenter); Michael and David Doucet; Max and Josh Baca ;Michael and David Doucet (BeauSoleil) and Max and Josh Baca (Los Texmaniacs) show off their musical genes and explore the history and role of the accordion in Cajun and conjunto music. Both genres result from generations of immigration: French Canadians in Louisiana and Germans and Mexicans in Texas, respectively. These participants represent the powerful legacy of two NEA National Heritage Fellows: Michael Doucet, Cajun fiddler and founder of BeauSoleil; and accordion master Flaco Jimenez, a mentor to and frequent collaborator of Max and Josh Baca.
