Zydeco great C.J. Chenier plays High Desert Music Hall in Redmond July 6.

A five-star zydeco show is set for Wednesday at High Desert Music Hall in Redmond.

That’s where C.J. Chenier — son of Clifton “The King of Zydeco” Chenier and one of the world’s great zydeco artists in his own right — and his Red Hot Louisiana Band will deliver a set of authentic and turbo-charged zydeco blues jams that should transport any attentive listener to the birthplace of the style, rural southwest Louisiana.

Zydeco music is party music, incorporating big chunks of blues, rock ‘n’ roll, Afro-Caribbean, Cajuna and Creole music into its rollicking sound, and the centerpiece of that sound is the accordion. C.J. Chenier is a master of the accordion, just as his father was before him.

C.J. Chenier & The Red Hot Louisiana Band: $30, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24, High Desert Music Hall, 818 SW Forest Ave., Redmond, highdesertmusichall.com.
