For the 6 million-plus folks living in South Florida, finding a music festival to call one's own has been a losing proposition. The ill-fated Langerado bounced around to several locations before succumbing to the Great Recession . Repeated attempts to bring Langerado back have languished . However, a new festival is making a strong bid to correct all that. The Virginia Key Grassroots Festival features an eclectic, foot-stomping lineup for February 9th through [...]
I'll put it this way: when I grow up, I want to be like Michael Doucet. And I want to be like the overwhelming number of older folks I spent time with last night. For the first time in thirteen years, traditional Cajun & zydeco virtuosos BeauSoleil came to Phoenix for a packed show at the Rhythm Room. Packed, that is, with smiling, dancing men and women in their 50's, 60's, and beyond. On a Wednesday evening. Led by the charming Michael Doucet, his ever-present violin in tow (and favoring a broken [...]
Filed under: Around the World A big pig has been freshly butchered. The constituent parts are divvied up to the various specialists in and out of the newly constructed barnlike dance hall just outside the town of Eunice, in the heart of Louisiana Cajun country. Over here, someone's making backbone stew. Over there, meat is being ground and mixed with rice and seasonings to be turned into boudin sausage. Next to the stew, a pot of oil is being brought lovingly to a boil to make cracklins out of the fatty skin, as [...]
Fine program of traditional and contemporary Cajun music Formed in the mid-70s as a platform for Louisiana fiddler Michael Doucet's appreciation of his native Cajun musical traditions, BeauSoleil has become an integral part of the history it sought to provide popular resuscitation. More importantly, by interweaving Cajun, zydeco, country, blues, jazz, and other sounds, BeauSoleil not only sparked renewed interest in Southern Louisianan sounds, but moved beyond simple preservation (to the consternation of some critics) to innovation. Doucet's early studies in the UK and France provided exposure to the genre's classic songs, the music's [...]
How did Mardi Gras sneak up on us so quickly? Happy Fat Tuesday to all. Check out Home of the Groove for some quality New Orleans flavor. Let the beads fly... And you can watch all the folks party down in the French Quarter from the comfort (and saddening solitude) of your office chair by checking out this Live Cam from Bourbon St. Beausoleil - Cochon de Lait (mp3) [...]
New Orleans is one of my favorite places. I've only been there three times. Once in the Springtime for a college road trip and twice in the muggy heat of July. Each time has been a blast. No other location has the same combination of music, drinking, history, character, and spirit. But I've never been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Maybe one of these years... In the spirit of the day, here are some New Orleans tunes to enjoy with your chicory coffee (or Hurricanes ): [...]
What better way to revive Party Tunes Tuesday (giving you reason to Party on day two) than Mardi Gras? Here are three Cajun tunes from BeauSoleil. When I think Fat Tuesday, I think New Orleans/Cajun culture. And when I think New Orleans/Cajun culture, I think BeauSoleil. Rosin that bow and strap on that accordion 'cause it's time to dance. Break out the beads and enjoy the feast before the famine. La Terra De Mon Grandpère Happy One-Step [...]

Ick's Pick (Week III): Beausoleil's Alligator Purse
Jan 21, 2009, 11:52pm IckMusic
IckMusicThe great thing about cajun music is that you know it's going to raise your spirits and it's gonna shake your rump. As the torchbearers of traditional Cajun music since their inception in 1975, Michael Doucet and Beausoleil accomplish this with every album. Cajun and zydeco barn burners are a staple of their work. But [...]
