BeauSoleil

BeauSoleil: Sunny Cajun Boogie, In The Studio

Soundcheck | Jun 18, 2013

BeauSoleil means "beautiful sun" in French, and the Cajun group lives up to its name by crafting upbeat and danceable songs. The undisputed "Kings of Cajun music" -- led by fiddler Michael Doucet -- are back with From Bamako to Carencro, a record unlike any the band has done before. The record covers delta blues, John Coltrane jazz, and a piece that traces a connection between Bamako, Mali and the Cajun country of Louisiana.  And yet, you will still want to dance.

Set List:

  • Two-Step de Port Arthur
  • Carencro
  • You Got To Move
