A Cajun Christmas with BeauSoleil @ Ambrose West 12-19-2019
Cajun music icons BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet are leaving the bayous of Southwest Louisiana to spread “A Cajun Christmas” across the country this holiday season! A detour from the routine path of holiday musical fare, “A Cajun Christmas” presents this beloved ensemble performing selections from their rich catalog alongside Bayou flavored versions of classic holiday tunes. Expect both the familiar and some surprises for a “cool-yule” of an evening! Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!
For the past 37 years, BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet has been making some of the most potent and popular Cajun music on the planet. Born out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet’s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. BeauSoleil’s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleands jazz, blues rock, folk, swamp pop, Zydeco, country and bluegrass, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, to Carnegie Hall, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson’s Meltdown Festival in England.
