Who was Andrus Espre?

Beau Jocque was a Creole American zydeco musician active in the 1990s.

Beau Jocque is known for his gruff vocals, his fusion of many musical styles onto zydeco, and above all, for the powerful energy of his rhythm and sound. Backed by the Hi-Rollers, he became one of the top dance-hall acts of his musical decade.

Beau Jocque was found collapsed in the shower by his wife, dead of an apparent heart attack at the height of his career. He was a long time resident of Kinder, Louisiana and is buried in Saint Matildas Cemetery, Eunice, Louisiana.
