Cajun Music at the Grammies

[with thanks to VMcN in San Francisco for the tip: "This year, there's a new category at the Grammys: Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album. A young band from Louisiana called The Pine Leaf Boys received a nomination for its second album, Blues de Musicien."]



"En provenance de Lafayette en Louisiane, les cinq jeunes poly instrumentists de Pine Leaf Boys bousculent avec un bonheur communicatif la musique Cajun et Créole."



YouTube video. Caption: "Pine Leaf Boys at the Philadelphia Folk Fest in 2007. This is the first 10 minutes of the concert."
