Les Amis Zydeco
(pronounced "lay zah-mee" and means "the friends")
has its roots in the swamps of deep South Louisiana, and in the Bay Area Cajun/Zydeco dance scene. We strive for an authentic sound whether we're playing Cajun, Creole, or Zydeco.
We love playing for dancers and hopefully that shows. Some band members are long-time Cajun/Zydeco dancers. We focus on dancer enjoyment by drawing on our own ingrained knowledge of what makes for an enjoyable dance evening.
We draw mostly from traditional roots, and some more modern, including, but not limited to:
Amede Ardoin, Beau Jocque, Boozoo Chavis, Chubby Carrier, Clifton Chenier, Danny Poullard, Geno Delafose, Jeffery Broussard, John Delafose,Pine Leaf Boys, Roy Carrier, Rockin' Dopsie, etc.
A note to our supporters:
You people rock. We are ever grateful to you for attending our gigs, telling your friends, giving us a "thumbs up" on original songs, telling us about venues, and recommending us to other promoters. You are helping to make this ride we're on a great one. Thank you so much.
