Bio:

Zydeco has been a family tradition with Harold Guillory through out his life and many of his past ancestors. Harold is the grandson of Boisec Ardoin and cousins to Sean and Chris Ardoin. With roots all the way back to Amade' Ardoin who was one of the founding fathers of Zydeco.

Louisiana Zydeco Live is described as the Zydeco Soul Train or Zydeco American Bandstand. One of Harold's goals in spreading this music to the masses is the desire to inform and educate people on the origins of Zydeco music and dance.

The music and dance did not come from New Orleans as many people believe. The origin's were from the Creole culture of Southwest Louisiana.

Its hard to grow up in the Guillory family with out sharing the music and dance with others. Harold teaches Zydeco dance as well as continues to play with Chris Ardoin and Double Clutchin'.
