Zydeco Dance Party Slated at Mass MoCA - March 20, 2008
 | | C.J. Chenier and his Red Hot Louisana Band will appear at Mass MoCA. |
NORTH ADAMS — C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band will host a zydeco dance party on Friday, April 11, at 8 p.m. in the Hunter Center at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
With a solo career dating back to 1987 and six albums under his belt, Chenier is widely regarded as one of zydeco's best singers, musicians, and live performers.
Zydeco is a popular music of southern Louisiana that combines French dance melodies, elements of Caribbean music, and the blues.
Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band's bayou beats are mixed with elements of funk, blues, and ballads, as well as traditional zydeco material. Chenier infuses his songs with strong vocals and skillful accordion-playing.
Beverage and bar service, as well as a range of dinner selections from Lickety Split, will be available when the doors open at 7 and throughout the night. Dance instruction, arranged by Jacob's Pillow, will begin at 8. The event is presented as part of the Williamstown Jazz Festival, taking place at venues throughout the region.
