Louisiana bands :
(click on the pics to access websites)
BONSOIR CATIN
(USA)
Bonsoir,
Catin plays authentic cajun music that is energetic, passionate and
heart-felt. Band members Christine Balfa Powell, Kristi Guillory,
Yvette Landry, Anya Shoenegge Burgess and Jude Veillon go together
like peas and carrots, beer and boudin.It happened one night in Chicot
State park around a campfire. Four girls, all friends, playing music
and visiting until the early morning hours. They realized that they
shared the same vision that Cajun music should be unafraid and unabashed,
full of energy and raw emotion. Since that night, Bonsoir, Catin has
emerged as one of South Louisiana's most exciting new Cajun bands.
FEUFOLLET (USA)
Although
Feufollet has often been hailed as the future of Cajun music, a more
current assessment must admit that they are now the present of Cajun
music. Once idolized at at early age for their precocious musicianship
and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Acadiana’s
cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime,
grown into the music as young adults. While Feufollet remains central
to the neotraditionalist brush fire they helped ignite as youths,
their latest album finds the band coming into its own and pushing
the envelope, leading the way once again as Cajun music extends itself
into a new century.
