Ida Lewis "Queen Ida" Guillory (born January 15, 1929, Lake Charles, Louisiana) is an American accordionist and singer. She was the first female accordion player to lead a Zydeco band. Queen Ida's music is an eclectic mix of R&B, Caribbean, and Cajun, though the presence of her accordion always keeps it traditional Zydeco.

Zydeco is a form of uniquely American roots or folk music. It evolved in southwest Louisiana in the early 19th century from forms of "la la" Creole music. The rural Creoles of southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas still sing in Louisiana Creole French. Zydeco combines elements of an even older American musical style which began in the late 1700s: Cajun music, which comprises French fiddle tunes, Irish Celtic fiddle tunes, German button accordion, Latin rhythms, and Appalachian styles.

Zydeco music was born in the late 1860s as a blend of Cajun music and two other "new" American music styles: blues and rhythm and blues. Haitian rhythms were also added, as Haitian natives moved to Louisiana to help harvest the new cash crop - sugarcane.

Zydeco (French, from the phrase: "Les haricots ne sont pas salés", means "the snap beans aren't salty". This phrase is a colloquial expression that means 'I have no spicy news for you. When spoken in the regional French, it is spoken thus: "leh-zy-dee-co sohn pah salay...")

Usually fast tempo and dominated by accordion and a form of a washboard known as a frottoir, Zydeco music was originally created at house dances, where families and
friends gathered for socializing. Creoles do not consider themselves part of the
black culture, but rather a mixture of Haitian, Native American, French, and
Spanish known as "Quadronne" or "four-way".

Queen Ida and her band played at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1976 and 1988, and
the San Francisco Blues Festival in 1975, 1978, and 1991. In 1988, Queen Ida toured
Japan, becoming the first zydeco artist to do so. She toured Africa the following
year and in 1990 went to Australia and New Zealand. Through the 2000s she
continued to tour and perform her upbeat style of cajun flavored 'bon temps' music,
dubbed Queen of the Louisiana Cajun rhythm and blues genre known as Zydeco.
