Zydeco Junky Productions in concert with Rochester Cajun ZYDECO Network is excited to announce the return of RUBEN MORENO & THE ZYDECO RE-EVOLUTION to Harmony House!!!!
Ruben Moreno – a proud young Chicano-Creole Zydeco artist born and raised in Houston, Texas. Dynamic Youthful Energy. Hot ~ Sizzlin Hot … Locked down dance groove … A new breed of Zydeco artist taking the form to whole new levels. Ruben has started his very own “Zydeco RE-Evolution” and is sharing it with the world.
Ruben has been immersed in music his WHOLE life starting with his father’s Chicano lineage, rich with Grammy Winning Tejano artists. A child prodigy, he learned to play percussion by 8 and the accordion by age of 11. Yet it was his mother’s Creole lineage which had the gravitational pull that drew him up on stage playing scrubboard with his uncle, Leroy Thomas and the Zydeco Roadrunners. Ruben has gone on to be one of the most revered scrubboard players on the planet ... TRUTH!!!
Ruben is a dynamic steward of this generation of Zydeco musicians. On stage playing Zydeco … balancing fundamental respect for the traditional sounds and dance grooves … with a willingness to take Zydeco in fresh directions absorbing rhythmic and melodic edges from the cultures and generations he’s immersed in.
Ultimately Ruben delivers. Engages. Inspires. Intrigues. Captures. Thrills.
