The brash blasts of the accordion, the shuffle of feet, the wailing vocals in old French... The sound of Cajun music is well known through the United States and abroad. But for Louisiana- based band The Revelers, it’s just the start of the story. Headquartered in the city of Lafayette in Southwest Louisiana’s Cajun Country (New Orleans is home to jazz, but not a native home to Cajun music), the band is dedicated to the “holy trinity” of Cajun culture: hot music, all-night dancing, and great food. But they’re determined to explore the larger world of Louisiana music as well, and with their new album, The End of the River (Au bout de la rivière), they’re tapping into their deep lifetimes of knowledge of Swamp Pop, Zydeco, and old-school Louisiana dancehall music. They’ve synthesized all of these different traditions into a new sound, their own sound. No other band on the circuit today can bring all of the many threads of Louisiana music together, generate an entirely new sound, and still remain a driving force on the dancefloor and in the culture.
