Becker Balmer Meeting Room

An enduring ethnographic portrait of Zydeco’s beloved musical families and their Creole identity as seen at home, in local clubs, at work and running Mardi Gras.

Come celebrate an oft overlooked segment of African American culture in the United States. 

The vibrant Zydeco music tradition is examined in Les Blank's 1984 film: Zydeco: African-American Dancehall Music in Southwest Louisiana.

While being an exuberant look at the Zydeco music tradition in Southwest Louisiana, the film also offers an intimate look at the day-to-day life, love, and living folk-traditions of the mighty Creole peoples of the Gulf Coast. 

This light-hearted film offers something for everyone, and is sure to delight those who enjoy music, and the vibrant folkways of the Americas and beyond.

*Popcorn will be provided!*
