I'm Lucky to have him in my Home Town...... He's a wonderful Musician, along with his band.... Did I mention he's a Real Cowboy too! See you soon Geno @ the Liberty Theater... Have a safe trip where ever you travel to... Come home safe,,,,,,,
I love Geno Delafose his style is so much more different than that of other contemporary zydeco musicians out there, its more traditional and deeply connected with his Creole heritage plus I love the fact he still sings in Creole (like his dad used to do) which is sadly so rare these days...
best music and band for dancing today. saw them in Fredericton NB and a normally conservative crowd was all dancing and couldn't stop dancing all night.
Ohhh vivant La vie est pour la vie, Devons-nous danser, mon cherie? My French is not very good, but I love how this music celebrates life! Pour la vie!
Bravo ! enfin des cajuns qui chantent en français.ça ferait frémir notre ami Molière que sa langue soit encore chantée dans ce lointain pays abandonné par Bonaparte pour une poignée de $
Man, Everyone says their state can do all these thing and i always say: Can you Play Creole, Cook Cajun, Fight Gators, and windboat through bayous? No? Only In Louisiana! :)
One place to check is the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette, Louisiana. Geno Delafose often plays there. If he isn't, then they usually have other Cajun or Zydeco musicians playing. Also, Cafe des Amis in Breaux Bridge has live Cajun or Zydeco music on Wednesday nights. Also check La Poussiere in Breaux Bridge!
That would be any where's in Acadiana, between Baton Rouge and Lake Charles. The footage was filmed at Chicot State Park. There is a Festival called the Dewey Balfa Heritage Week. ... Had some Good times there too.
@qmac10 The real Cajun/Creole/Arcadian/French-Creole are all over the great state. You can't miss a one, stop in any truck stop mon ami and ask there. New Orleans, my friend, is but one touch of the fine south that makes up this great state. Go with some nice Jumbalaya, don't mess around with too much if you're not used to alot of spice. Don't touch the boudan if you're not real southern.
@Dieudonne357 you must think i am not from this state right? For one i lived out in the SW for a while when i met a girl from Eunice. we later moved to Lafayette i worked for Oceaneering. I yearned for the deep south while i was there. Most people i met around me were cocky smart ass and full of them selves. Cajuns who couldn't make a roux to save their lives and couldn't cook a good Courtbouillion.
Could you please tell me where this was filmed and if this was some sort of festival? If I am going to New Orleans where in the state do I want to go if I want real Cajun/Creole music and real Creole/Cajun food? You know, where the food, music, and people are great and the tourist are scarce! Thanks
@Dieudonne357 i am not trying to be rude either. Yes i met some good old cajuns in that area it was rare . But it is over run by spoiled whinny people mostly. It like new orleans nothing is cajun about new orleans. bunch of city folk who would cry if they saw a nutria rat. I am from thibodaux aera a place called chackbay louisiana.
