BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet

Since forming in 1975, Grammy winners BeauSoleil have claimed their undisputed role as the most esteemed Cajun group in music. BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet take the rich Cajun traditions of Louisiana and artfully blend elements of zydeco, New Orleans jazz, Tex-Mex, country, blues and more into a satisfying musical recipe. From The Grand Ole Opry to Newport Folk, from concert hall to dance floor, the music of BeauSoleil continues to captivate audiences the world over.

In their 30 years, the band has been nominated for multiple Grammy-awards, winning one for Best Traditional Folk Album in 1997 with "L'amour ou la Folie." The band's pioneering efforts helped put Cajun music in the mainstream. Performing songs off their latest album, BeauSoleil: Live in Louisiana, the album offers a message of hope for those ravaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last year in and around their home state of Louisiana.
