    Every genre has its defining figureheads. When it comes to contemporary traditional Cajun music, there is BeauSoleil.

    For the past 34 years Lafayette, Louisiana's BeauSoleil has carried the torch of tradition while continuing to chart uncharted waters with ingenuity and innovation. 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 Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion and garnered eleven Grammy nominations. They've daringly blended zydeco, Tex-Mex, western swing, blues, New Orleans traditional jazz and Caribbean calypso into their framework. Any ethnomusicologist would be hard-pressed to speculate where Cajun music would be today without the contributions of BeauSoleil.
