At the
Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Library the Photo Exhibit “Music of Louisiana: the Story
of Zydeco Roots Music” was open for public in the framework of “America Days in
Dnipropetrovsk”. The Exhibit was provided by the Embassy of the United States
to enhance US ties with the region.
The exhibit
was presented by Ms. Susan Cleary, the assistant of the US Cultural attaché in Ukraine. The highlight of the event was the
presence of the Creole musician, the Grammy Award winning Terence Simien who is
a prominent figure among the zydeco style musicians in the world.
The
visitors of the Exhibit had the chance to see wonderful portraits of the Zydeco
musicians and bands, the breathtaking landscapes of Louisiana and lovely
pictures with traditional architecture of the state. Mr. Terrence Simien commented
on the most interesting photos demonstrating a lot of charm and sense of humor.
The musician introduced the Disney cartoon “The Princess and the Frog” in which
zydeco music was used in the soundtrack for the first time in history.
The cartoon
in English was demonstrated on the big screen at the WOA centre for the
visitors of the Exhibit and the active members of the English Speaking Club.
