Part 3 Nathan Plumbar

🎶 Behind every great musician is someone who believed in them before the world did.

In this powerful segment, Nathan Plumbar shares the tremendous impact that Joshua Arceneaux had on his musical journey and career. In Creole Culture, we call that a “Coup de Main” — a helping hand extended to lift someone up, encourage them, and help them move forward.

Josh Arceneaux embodied that spirit. Time and time again, he opened doors, shared opportunities, offered guidance, and invested in the success of others without expecting anything in return. His influence reaches far beyond the stage, touching the lives of countless musicians and members of our community.

Join us as Nathan reflects on the mentorship, friendship, and generosity that helped shape his path. This is more than a story about music — it’s a testament to the power of community, culture, and giving back.

In a world where so many are trying to make it on their own, Josh reminds us that sometimes all it takes is a Coup de Main to change a life.

🎥 Watch, share, and help us celebrate a man whose legacy continues to inspire generations of Creole musicians and culture bearers.

Congratulations to Andre Thierry 2026 Arhoolie Foundation Award winner!

André is an Accordion Soul Zydeco artist who honors his Louisiana Creole roots while moving his music forward in a way that's totally his own. André grew up with the French Creole (La-La) dances that his grandparents held at St. Mark's Catholic Church in Richmond. "André learned to play accordion from watching great visiting players from Louisiana, such as John Delafose and Clifton Chenier," says Arhoolie Foundation board member Suzy Thompson, who nominated Thierry for the award. "By age 12, André had formed his own band, Zydeco Magic." Today, André continues to share his accordion soul music in Northern California, Louisiana, Europe, and beyond.
