Having played together Folk and Cajun music in various bands in the 70's, Didier, Glaudius and Tipol reunited in 1992 to create Blue Bayou. Since then, with the help of a fantastic rythm section (bass, drums and keyboards), they have toured their rock solid beats all over Europe. Playing in big Festivals as well as tiny ballrooms and bars, they have become over the years one of the most outstanding French bands playing Cajun & Zydeco music. Finding their inspiration in the music of people like Wayne Toups, Bruce Daigrepont or Geno Delafose, whose numbers they like to cover, they also like to create their own Cajun and Zydeco songs. They have recorded three CDs so far : « Route 90 », « Louisiana Feeling » and "French Cookin'" and are planning to release their fourth one soon.

Please, feel free to ask for infos and demo CDs.
