Donna The Buffalo
Wednesday November 6th 2017
Saint Rocke in
Hermosa Beach
http://www.saintrocke.com/
142 Pacific Coast
Highway
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Box Office Reception : 310.372.0035 (m-f 12pm open, S-S 4pm open)
VENUE DIRECTIONS
“Donna The Buffalo is from
central New York state, not Louisiana, but this widely loved quintet has
woven that joyful, hip-shaking zydeco pulse into the DNA of its sound, and
leaders Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins have wrapped that core vibe with
hopeful, mellow lyrics.” --Music City Roots, Craig Havighurst
Donna the Buffalo just passed the marker as their 25th year as a band and
have proven to be a consistent purveyor of American music. What’s the
recipe? To be sure, it’s infused with more spices than you’ll
find at a Cajun cookout by way of a southern-fried, rockin’ country
old-time jamboree. “For the dizzying array of styles and genres with
which they work, Donna The Buffalo maintain a surprising level of
consistency. The New York-based band has played around with folk, zydeco,
and many other musical ideas over the course of their 25-year career, but
they retain a sharp focus that has helped them create some truly lasting
music,” writes Elmore Magazine.

From Dick Brainard
There may be those of you here in Portland interested
in these upcoming events in Lafayette, LA.
*Festivals Acadiens, Lafayette, LA--Oct. 12-16
The hotel is holding a number of rooms for us, but they
are going fairly fast—so call to make your reservation—see
below.
Our rate at the Ramada Inn on Evangeline Thruway will
again be $65 + tax/night. This rate will apply from Wed., Oct.
11 through Mon., Oct. 16.
If you plan to arrive early or stay late, I am sure the
hotel will honor the same rate.
The hotel is holding 50 rooms per night for our group,
& may have additional rooms available.
Our booking code is “Festivals Acadiens
Zydeco Group Rate.” The hotel front desk phone number
is 337-233-6815.
If any issue when you call to book, ask to be
transferred to Lashea Dugas (337-408-2808)—Carla has retired.
If you continue to have problems booking, contact me at dickbrainard@gmail.com.
The breakfast is about to what it used to be—the
only difference is there are no large bowls of canned fruit, & we
have to serve ourselves with coffee from the large urn rather than wait for
someone to come around with a pot. The pool & spa were cleaned for us
the day we arrived last time & will be again. The rooms are the same,
with many basic repairs. All in all it’s good to be back, plus able
to park near our rooms & not have to go inside & use an elevator.
Go to www.festivalsacadiens.com for details. The
festival runs all day Saturday & Sunday, plus;

blurb..
Dana
Zydeco dance night!
Every once in a while we like to introduce you to a different but very
popular dance form. Tonight we teach Zydeco and Merengue
We are very lucky to have the instructor and owner of one of
the nation's longest running Zydeco dances, Eagles Zydeco in Alameda, Dana
DeSimone. Dana has run the Alameda Eagles Zydeco dance for some 15+ years
now. Zydeco is a fun, super easy, casual but enthusiastic dance from
Louisiana. Somewhat like a night club two step or slow swing danced to high
energy up tempo tunes which typically include accordian, fiddle, guitar,
and the ever present wash board.
The word “zydeco” is a
phonetic corruption of the French les haricots, or snap beans. In fact, the
phrase les haricots sont pas sales, signifying poverty so dire that there
was no salt meat to cook, appears in several of the Lomax recordings.
Gradually, the term came to represent both the music and the event, as in
“I’m going to the zydeco.” Until the Houston folklorist
Mack McCormack promoted the current spelling of the word in the 1960s, it
was variously written as zorigo, zarico or zodico on posters advertising
weekend dances.
7pm. Merengue. Never taught before at Friday Night Waltz. Much like a
non moving One Step, all the step are in time with the heavily accented
music, and all steps are evenly tempoed. Partners bend their knees slightly
left and right, thus making the hips move left and right. The hips of
the leader and follower move in the same direction throughout the song.
Partners may walk sideways or circle each other, in small steps. They can
switch to an open position and
do separate turns without letting go each other's hands or releasing one
hand. During these turns they may twist and tie their handhold into
intricate pretzels.

8pm Introduction to Zydeco dancing. Super easy,
very much fun, casual, energertic, comfortable dance. Many variations, but
the basic step is very close to Night club two step, but danced to very
different music. Often you will see people combing basic zydeco steps with
many steps from east coast swing.
