Cajun music is rooted in the traditions of the French-speaking folks who were expelled from Nova Scotia by the British in 1755. They settled in southwest Louisiana alongside Native Americans, Spanish, Germans, and French Creoles of African descent. Out of this rich cultural gumbo, a distinctive Cajun music emerged.
THE SAVOY FAMILY BAND seamlessly integrates a lesson in the history of this unique American art form, from front porch twin fiddles and French ballads to accordion-driven house party waltzes and two-steps.
CEDRIC WATSON AND JOE HALL are a fiddle and accordion duo
STEVE AND BURKE RILEY are a father and son duo who sing, play accordion, and guitar
