A Zig Zag Zydeco Zoo Party: Le Winston Band

Joyful revelers Le Winston Band blend Zydeco and Cajun music with its French-Canadian roots for a unique sound derived from the rich musical traditions of Louisiana and their own identity as Montrealers.

United by their shared passion for Zydeco music, the five musicians intermingle sassy compositions and their own take on well known traditional songs from Quebec and Louisiana. The powerful sound of the diatonic accordion supported by a typical “modern zydeco” lineup, electrifies audiences and ensures a warm and festive atmosphere that is guaranteed to get you off your feet and dancing.

After many pilgrimages to Louisiana, the group’s album Zig Zag Zydeco Zoo was nominated for best world music album at both the ADISQ and GAMIQ galas in 2019. In 2022, their EP Enwèye à Lafayette won best world music album at the GAMIQ gala. That same year, the five musicians teamed up with producer Erik West-Millette and recorded Winston Express, a new record filled with original material that was released during the 2023 Mardi Gras festivities.
