Dance Camp

Dance Camp 2010 was GRRRREAT! I hope you didn't miss it. If you were there send your pictures to czpublicity@gmail.com they can be posted on our web.

At Dance Camp T. Broussard spoke about zydeco culture and his heritage. If you are interested in the films that were mentioned here is the listing. Also look below at the OPB show that is still online.

films Maroon / Zarico / Liberty Street Blues

Interested in a little Louisiana culture?

Louisiana's Creole culture is the subject of this trio of documentaries directed by Andre Gladu. Maroon examines the roots of this remarkable culture, the result of French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and American influences, and how it's surviving. Zarico, the word for Creole folk music, shows how the culture's traditional rhythms shaped modern music, while Liberty Street Blues offers a musical tour of New Orleans, the birthplace of modern jazz.

The films of Andre Gladu were recommended to me by several Cascade Zydeco members. They have been shown in Lafayette and are available on Netflix. The first one, Maroon, starts back before zydeco was zydeco.

Picnic 2010

Pictures are available on Portland Sideways.

Zydeco on OPB

The OPB show, American Routes, featured zydeco in August 2010. You can view the full show online. See the links below.

Bustin' Loose: Go-Go and Zydeco with Chuck Brown and Jeffrey Broussard

Come meet us at the club as we jump into two distinct American musics: go-go and zydeco. From the nation's capital, we'll visit with the "Godfather of Go-Go," funk and jazz guitarist Chuck Brown, who'll explain the finer points of jamming and showing the audience some love. Then we're back in Louisiana getting down to the Creole sounds of zydeco with the Creole cowboy Jeffrey Broussard, whose fiddle and accordion playing brings the music back its source. The son of the late accordion legend Delton Broussard, Jeffery knows the deep roots of d'vrais zarico (real zydeco), but also the appeal of tradition in a modern sound.

Make some new friends and
extend the zydeco community

Diane George, our home stay coordinator, needs people to volunteer to host out of town dancers. Live band events, the Waterfront Blues Festival, & Dance Camp all bring visitors to our neighborhood. It's fun and the right thing to do!

Plus, dancers from other areas (especially Seattle - thanks, Seattle!) have graciously opened their homes to Portland/Vancouver dancers. So, please call Diane at 971-533-6768 or email her at pdgeorge54@hotmail.com.
