For
27 years, Downtown Alive! has united community and culture to create a
weekly tradition and
celebration in Downtown Lafayette every Fall and Spring. The Fall 2010
season kicks off on September 11, 2010, with Feufollet in Parc
International offering great entertainment in the
form of free, family-friendly, smoke free, outdoor concerts.
Lafayette’s own, Feufollet is
a young group of musicians leading the way in creating innovative Cajun music
and the perfect band to kick off the DTA! Fall Season. Feufollet has been
admired for their musicianship and is comprised of critically acclaimed and
Grammy nominated musicians, who continuously push the envelope with their
inventive Cajun, roots and rock sounds.
Feufollet is the present of
Cajun music. Once idolized at an early age for their musicianship and performing
all over the world as youthful emblem of Acadiana’s cultural resurgence, the
members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young
adults. While Feufollet remains central to neo-traditionalism, their latest
albums push the envelope, leading the way once again as Cajun music extends
itself into a new century. www.feufollet.net/
