Ida Lewis "Queen Ida" Guillory (born January 15, 1929)[1][2] is a Louisiana Creole accordionist.[3] She was the first female accordion player to lead a zydeco band.[4] Queen Ida's music is an eclectic mix of R&B, Caribbean, and Cajun, though the presence of her accordion always keeps it traditional.[1]
