In June of 2014 they made their first trip overseas – to Haiti; in Oct.-Nov. of 2014 they performed in the Dominican Republic; in Jan./Feb. of 2015 they spent 37 days on the road traveling to Washington DC, Belize, Panama, Mexico, Barbados and Colombia; and most recently in June 2015 they traveled to Tajikistan. (Yes, that Tajikistan – the one that lies just north of Afghanistan and Pakistan.) In the states they’ve spent the last two summers representing Zydeco-based music at festivals in Michigan, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, and Ohio. Now the band plans to bring their brand of cultural diplomacy to the states, kicking off with a couple CD parties in their native NE Ohio, starting in September. After those local releases, Mo’ Mojo plans to spend the next several months in the States promoting the CD. The new album, “We All Got The Same,” has 12 songs: 9 originals; 2 Zydeco standards meant to pay homage to the musical tradition; and 1 two-parts cover/one-part original medley based off of Bob Marley’s, “Stir It Up.” It features the unique stylings that Mo’ Mojo is known for with a blend of Zydeco, reggae, Cajun, blues, rock & roll, and indie sounds. The Rochester Cajun Zydeco Network (www.rochesterzydeco.com) has been hosting music and “dance hall” events for 18 years, supporting the music from and inspired by the bayous and prairies of South West Louisiana.  Both Cajun Music and Zydeco Music emerged from the cultures and communities of rural sections of Louisiana with historic roots tied to the land for generations, colored by the French speaking white Cajun and black Creole peoples.  RCZN has built a happy, healthy, and hardy community of people who come regularly to monthly shows packed with helpful dance lessons for beginners, dynamic performances by world class Cajun and Zydeco bands from Louisiana, and enthusiastic crowds of dancers who love shaking and grooving together all night. The monthly events are held at the Harmony House in Webster NY, a wonderfully maintained Grange Hall, circa 1899, with a gorgeous wooden floor supremely suited for dancing.     Check out our website – www.rochesterzydeco.com Join our FB Group - www.facebook.com/groups/53464085049/ Like our FB Page - www.facebook.com/rochestercajunzydeconetwork
