"Cajun swamp fire!" In Louisiana Cajun folklore, "feufollet" is the word for the will-o-the-wisp, the mysterious light that can be seen hovering near the ground, usually in dark swamplands or marshes. The feufollet, or "dancing fire," guides travelers to safety in many folktales, or at least back to the road through the wilderness. For the members of La Bande Feufollet, who have been performing Louisiana music since they were kids, Cajun songs are not unlike these alluring lights, enchanting their audiences. Cajun music for these young people is a way to have fun and play and sing, but also a way to understand and fathom the roots of their culture and heritage. Feufollet has been featured several times on NPR's "American Routes," and they have a brand-new album, "Cow Island Hop." You are guaranteed an exciting evening with these youthful avatars of Acadiana's cultural resurgence! Visit Feufollet on the Web On sale 4/18/09
