A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Fork it Over: L'il Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers with "Git Yo' Money Up"
Lafayette, Louisiana's Nathan James Williams, Jr., or L'il Nathan, started in zydeco music at the age of 5 playing the rub board in Nathan and the Zydeco Cha-Cha's, his father's (Nathan Williams) band. His father later taught him the accordion and drums. L'il Nathan recorded his first CD at the age of 14, playing songs written by his father. He is currently fronting his own band, L'il Nathan and the Zydeco Big Timers. You can find this song, Git Yo' Money Up, on their album Face 2 Face - Nate the Great (2015).
