BAYOU TUNES Friday night is your last chance to attend Let’s Zydeco, a concert series that showcases musical forms native to Louisiana. Musician Dikki Du combines classic zydeco songs with his own funky, hypnotic style. Born into a musically gifted family in Church Point, La., Mr. Du (né Troy Carrier) plays the accordion and sings to the polyrhythmic beats of his band, the Zydeco Krewe. On one album, “Make It Funky,” the band covered Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground,” demonstrating its creative ability to stretch the Cajun musical tradition.
