FÊTE DE LOUISIANE!:
*HOT OFF THE PRESS*
Both Feufollet and Cedric Watson et Bijou Creole were nominated for the Grammy in the Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album category for their 2010 releases! Fête de Louisiane combines these two dynamic talents in one outstanding show!
************************************
Laissez les bons temps roulez! Let the good times roll and celebrate Louisiana-style with Fête de Louisiane! , a high-powered evening combining performances by Cajun upstarts Feufollet and Creole fiddle and accordion wunderkind Cedric Watson & Bijou Creole. These two young bands have been setting the pace in the Cajun/Zydeco home turf of Lafayette, Louisiana and the world is starting to catch on.
Cedric Watson, a fiddler, vocalist, accordionist and songwriter of seemingly unlimited potential, has been expanding the boundaries of Creole music since his arrival in his ancestral Louisiana from Texas. With his own band, Bijou Creole, he has been stretching the music simultaneously backward to its Caribbean and African roots and forward into the 21st Century
Once idolized at an early age for their precocious musicianship and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Cajun Louisiana’s cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young adults, pushing the envelope and leading the way once again as Cajun music extends itself into a new century.
