La Chanson Perdue is an album by the American musician Geno Delafose, released in 1998.[2][3] He is credited with his band, French Rockin' Boogie.[4] Delafose considered the album to be a combination of Creole zydeco and Cajun music; however, the title of the album ("The Lost Song") in part refers to the popularity of zydeco overtaking traditional Creole music.[5][6] Delafose supported the album with a North American tour.[7]
Recorded at Ultrasonic Studios, New Orleans, the album was produced by Scott Billington.[8][9] Delafose switched between piano accordion and diatonic button accordion.[10] Most of the songs are sung in French.[11] Christine Balfa played acoustic guitar on several songs; Dirk Powell played fiddle.[12][13]
