(Willamette Week, Portland OR 10/07/2009) [ZYDECO BLUES] The New Iberians have planted Louisiana roots in the heart of Portland's fertile musical soil. Since 1998, this local sextet has pumped out fine-tuned, polished Zydeco (which evolved from Louisiana Creole music and is a blend of jazz, blues and polka). The New Iberians' newest album, Bon Temps Rouge, weaves zydeco's traditional guitars, accordions, a ripping horn section and a metal washboard into a catchy fabric of Southern audio flavor.
Cajun and Zydeco Dance Music from Portland, Oregon
Rick Obbink and Robert Lee from Too Loose are members of Cascade Zydeco.

Bon Ton Roulet grooves high-energy zydeco, Cajun, and folk together in the
heart of the Willamette Valley bayou, OR. The conception of this band
occurred while plunking the guitar, squeezing the box, rubbin the ole
washboard, and drinking homebrew at Sam Holmes chateau la musica. We
love to play at parties, breweries, weddings, festivals, and generally
wherever folks like to dance to zydeco. Laissez le bon temps roulet!

Capt. Leroy and the Zydeco Locals play authentic rockin' zydeco music from Southwestern Louisiana. The high-energy band performs traditional and modern tunes - sung in both French and English - and put their own twist on them to create lively, danceable tunes for two-stepping and soulful waltzing.
