Description

Deathbed ballads meet glockenspiels and omnichords. Cajun French choruses are written on iPhones. Indie-rock vibes invade Acadian archives.


Welcome to the world of Feufollet, a band both deeply rooted in the francophone soil of Louisiana and pushing boldly into unexplored yet utterly natural varieties of Cajun experience. Though famous for their renditions of heartbreaking songs and rollicking tunes, the quintet breaks new ground on En Couleurs (their 5th release) featuring originals that draw on deep roots tempered by a cutting edge of contemporary life.

Feufollet has been performing worldwide since its founders were pre-teens, their considerable musical talent evolving into prodigious instrumental and vocal skills. Now in their early twenties, they are already seasoned veterans, with an original and mature sound.

 

Les Amis de l’Immersion is a non-profit organization composed mainly of parents of French immersion students, who provide support for French immersion learning in Lafayette Parish. We do so mainly by raising funds, providing support to our teachers, building community awareness and by providing student and teacher enrichment opportunities.

 

The goal of this fundraiser is to purchase French Books which will help teachers empower immersion students with better reading skills

(in French and in English). Books bought through this fundraiser will be used by 2nd and 3rd grade students in all Lafayette Parish immersion schools.
