our thoughts on that Friday evening.

LAFAYETTE
RYTHM DEVILS
(USA)
The
Lafayette Rhythm Devils are the house band at Randol's Restaurant
in Lafayette on Wednesdays. When we get to see them occasionally in
Eunice at the Liberty Theater, it's a special treat. The Rhythm Devils
provide a tight, technically precise sound, but, much more importantly,
they clearly are having fun, and that joy and excitement comes straight
through in their performance. They offer mostly Cajun standards, but
there's nothing routine in the way the Rhythm Devils play: every cut
sparkles with fresh energy.
COREY
LEDET & HIS ZYDECO BAND (USA)
Originally
from Houston, Texas, Corey grew up hearing the records of Clifton
Chenier, Rockin' Dopsie, and many other great musicians. By the age
of 10, Corey began playing the piano key accordion, and after graduating
high school, Corey moved over to south Louisiana.
Corey "Lil Pop" Ledet has been setting local Zydeco and
Cajun dance halls and festival stages on fire. Whether he is playing
his single row or piano key accordion, Corey's music ranges in style
from old-time Creole and Zydeco to music done his own way.

by Cajun and Zydeco music will gather in the small town of Saulieu
(Burgundy), France to share great moments of music, dance, cinema
and gastronomy at the Cajun & Zydeco Music, Film &
Food Festival.
