My friend Paul Tamburello writes the great blog PT at Large about his experiences in travel as well as the local art scene in the Boston area. He has recently been covering one of my favorite places in the world. Louisiana. He is now focusing on a part I wish I knew better, the Cajun country in Southwest Louisiana. I highly recommend them.
Here are few:
Mardi Gras in Lafayette: Two Stars, One Legend - Riley, Delafose, Menard. It describes Lundi Gras at Outlaws Saloon and Dance Hall with Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys, D.L. Menard, Terry Huval, Geno Delafose and French Rockin’ Boogie. I saw Steve play at the Rock/n/Bowl in New Orleans and have some of his CDs.
Mardi Gras in Lafayette: A Zydeco King Cake Party. It describes Geno Delafose and French Rockin’ Boogie (Louisiana Zydeco, Creole) playing at a local home in Breaux Bridge, L
Swamp Pop, Carnivals, and Characters: Plaquemine, Louisiana describes a regular Weekend in Louisiana and covers the Acadienne Festival, Plaquemine, Louisiana.
Mardi Gras in Mamou, Louisiana: Tradition Lives on with the "Courir." About a centuries-old tradition of revelry that still takes place in Mamou, Louisiana.
I think you get the idea. Le bon temps roule.
