World music
New album, Le Fou
With his 20th album, Le Fou, "Cajun King" Zachary Richard, creator of the hit Travailler, c’est trop dur, appeals to a French public once again. The spiritual ecologist fervently defends the French spoken in Louisiana, set to a happy groove. RFI Musique met up with a musician keen to perpetuate his ancestors’ language: a militant musician bursting with poetry.
