                                                   Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic
“The King of Zydeco,” Clifton Chenier grabbed Andre Thierry by the arms at the age of three and deemed him a future accordion player. Thierry’s French Creole roots are grounded in Louisiana. Thierry’s mother, Olivia Guillory is from Basile, Louisiana and father Gregory Thierry from Jennings, Louisiana. Andre Thierry’s childhood was deeply influenced by his late grandfather Houston Pete Pitre (Pa-Pa as they called him) from Basile, Louisiana and his loving grandmother, known to all as Mama Lena Pitre from Soileau, Louisiana. Andre Thierry released the first CD “It’s About Time!” in 1999. Thierry has raised the bar for Zydeco-Cajun musicians nationwide. Thierry has been labeled as the Jimmy Hendrix of Zydeco Music, a legend before his time. Andre is an exceptional multidimensional self taught musician who has embraced his ability to merge traditional Zydeco-Cajun music with hip-hop, blues, jazz and rock. As quoted from an article published in Eh Toi magazine 2002, “There is no accordion player in Zydeco that uses his left hand as well as Andre Thierry. ”Andre Thierry released his second CD A Whole Lot of something in 2004. Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic will capture your attention with his melodic fingers as they embrace the brass buttons of his accordions, creating music that will captivate your souls, soothe your minds and have your feet dancing all night long. As Clifton said once, that " if you have arthritis you won’t have it no more."

Greetings!

It's been a whole month since I put out the last Gazette and a lot has transpired, especially in the last two days. Due to a family emergency, Dikki Du had to cancel his California tour and won't be playing at the Golden Sails this Sunday. However, never fear, we've got a great replacement for ya!

We're very excited to announce that Dwight "Black Cat" Carrier and the Ro' Dogs will be playing at the Golden Sails this Sunday night! See story below for the scoop!

THIS SUNDAY, OCT. 9, 2011
Dwight "Black Cat" Carrier & the Ro' Dogs

Golden Sails Hotel, PCH Club

Dwight Carrier Black Cat Carries On!

Rockin' the house from Louisiana to LA, Dwight "Black Cat" Carrier and the Ro' Dogs will be playing the Golden Sails THIS SUNDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 9! Visiting California from his native Opelousas, Louisiana, Dwight is Zydeco royalty. As a member of the famed Carrier family, Dwight released his first CD at age 14. Playing with other bands, he went on to tour around the world for several years. His extensive resume also includes multiple appearances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. After pursuing another career for an extended time, Dwight formed his new band Black Cat & Ro' Dogs's. To say that Dwight is BACK in the world of Zydeco is an understatement! The new band is hot, they're tight and they're gonna set your world on FIRE! So be sure to come on out to the Golden Sails and get some Louisiana Heat, Dwight Carrier style. I'll see you all on the dance floor!

OCTOBER IS CREOLE HERITAGE MONTH

Story of the Louisiana Creole Flag

Thanks to my friend and dance partner Garry Melonson for sending me the following:

"In 2005 the Louisiana Legislature designated October as Creole Heritage Month. Part of the Resolution includes the following: "Although the history of the Creole heritage is rarely acknowledged in spite of its uniqueness, it is worthy and deserving of recognition so that this important part of the American experience will not be lost." SPREAD THE WORD!"

STORY OF THE CREOLE FLAG

"Pete Bergeron designed the Louisiana Creole flag in 1987 and, in 1995, the Lafayette-based organization C.R.E.O.L.E., Inc., a heritage preservation group, adopted the flag to represent the cultural and ethnic diversity of Creole Louisiana. Dolores Kay Conque, Bergeron's sister, hand-stitched the first Creole flag.

The upper left section, a white fleur de lis on a blue field, represents Louisiana's French heritage. On the lower left and upper right sections, West African heritage is represented, respectively, by the flags of Mali and Senegal. Spanish colonial heritage is depicted by the Tower of Castille --- a gold tower on a red field --- positioned at the lower right section of the flag. A white cross dividing the four quadrants serves as a symbol of religion in the region.

Historically, Louisiana Creoles share deep cultural and kinship ties not only with Mediterranean Europeans, West Africans and Native Americans, but, as well, with the people of Cuba and Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic)."
