What do you think of when you hear the word Cajun? Maybe you think Cajun food, and the taste and smell of gumbo and crawfish jumps to mind. Or perhaps it takes you back to your visit of New Orleans' French Quarter. Well, you should add Cajun music to the list! A Cajun band is perfect for any party, Mardi Gras celebration, or dance hall. With the sounds of the accordion, fiddle, and banjo ringing out, your feet will be begging to hit the dance floor! So get to booking one of these great Cajun Bands for your event!
Bring the porch sounds of Louisiana to your event with live entertainment! Cajun music is closely linked with Creole and Cajun-influenced zydeco, as modern Cajun music has taken on the influence of jazz and modern country music. Common instruments associated with Cajun and Zydeco music are: the Accordion, Fiddles, Banjos, Acoustic Guitar, The Triangle, Drums, Electric Bass, and other amplified instruments. Cajun music, once predominantly ballads, has transformed to dance music. The music was essential for public dancing in Louisiana in a dance hall called a fais do-dos. A Cajun dancer will cover the dance floor while the zydeco dancer will primarily dance in a smaller area. Hire a Cajun Band to bring a party atmosphere to any event, complete with dance beats and infectious rhythms! Start your search for a Cajun Band by selecting your city above.
Some things to consider when hiring a Cajun Band are to make sure you listen to audio and watch video clips. This will ensure that you truly do book the best for your next event! Next, you want to get references. Talk to people in the area about the band and get feedback. Finally, get a contract. Many professional cajun bands require a deposit to secure them at your next event. Make sure to read through the contract carefully before contracting the band for your party.
