Over the past several years, there’s been an explosion of energetic, young Cajun bands coming out of the Lafayette, Louisiana area. Feufollet is a perfect example: 20-somethings raised on Cajun jam sessions, now reviving and revamping the old styles for a new generation of listeners. Like fellow local bands the Pine Leaf Boys, Lost Bayou Ramblers, Lafayette Rhythm Devils and others, they demonstrate a deep respect and awareness of their roots, but with a drive to keep moving the music and culture forward.

Brilliant track. I’ve never heard of Feufollet before – thanks, this musical advent calendar is a great idea.

Thanks, Squeezyboy. We’re having a lot of fun with this — it’s given us a chance to highlight some artists we haven’t otherwise had time to write about (like Feufollet).
