Free Thursday Night Concerts - Beausoleil
Beausoleil – For the past 34 years Lafayette, Louisiana’s Beausoleil has carried the torch of tradition while continuing to go through uncharted waters with ingenuity and innovation. Their latest release “Alligator Purse”, is not only a vibrant testament to Beausoleil’s healthy spirit but is easily their most adventuresome record yet. Since their inception in 1975, Beausoleil has not only spearheaded a cultural Renaissance but has elevated Cajun music to one of domestic and international acclaim. Along the way, they have appeared regularly on Garrison Keilor’s A Prairie Home Companion and garnered 10 Grammy nominations. In 1998 they became the first Cajun band to win a Grammy for their L’Amour Ou La Folie effort in the traditional folk category. While they’ve introduced their sources of inspiration to new audiences, they’ve also daringly blended Zydeco, Tex-Mex, western swing, blues, New Orleans traditional jazz and Caribbean calypso into their framework.
