We first saw these kids in Lafayette La. at the Festivals Acadiens in 1999. They were in their early teens and had been studying Cajun music and language in a Cajun French immersion program.

At the time we thought they were one of the best bands at the festival on a number of levels.

They came to Alameda earlier this year and they were simply wonderful!!!

If you like hard rocking Cajun music that makes you want to dance this show is not to be missed!!!!

If you want a free lesson come at 8:00, music starts at 9:00...

See you there, allons danser!
