Après Faire Le Boogie Woogie

Amazon.com
With their third release, this female Louisiana quartet renews its commitment to traditional Cajun music as a vital part of contemporary culture rather than a musty museum piece. The musical (though not familial) sisters--founders fiddler Jane Vidrine and accordionist Ann Savoy, bassist Lisa Trahan Reed, and second fiddler Anya Schoenegge (the quartet's newest recruit)--share vocal leads and contribute harmony vocals and other instrumentation as well. Their spirited interplay turns both the traditional two-step of "Les Flammes d'Enfer (The Flames of Hell)" and Savoy's original "Magnolia Hop" into dance-floor romps, while the range of the selections extends from the balladry of "La Valse de la Vie (The Waltz of Life)" to the exquisitely a cappella "Ma Petite et Mignonne (My Little and Cute One)." Most of the lyrics are sung in Cajun French patios (with English translations in the liner booklet), until a Cajun-style revival of Little Richard's "Keep a Knockin'" brings the collection to a bilingual climax. The results sound like a cross between a bayou Fairport Convention and a feistier, female Beausoleil. --Don McLeese

A Cajun must have, with a different flair........2007-06-17

Every Cajun band seems to have their own versions of the classics. This all ladies band's, hang with the best of them. What's a bit different? The title holds the clue,"Le Boogie Woogie." Think the big band era of the 1940s; though the Magnolia sisters is an average size Cajun Band, their playing of the Boogie Woogies hold up to the sound of those big bands and with the Cajun Flair. Also of note, they do Cajun Ballads and a couple are done acapella and have a very haunting presentation. I also recommend, this for any one the enjoys collecting various ethnic music.

As A member of the Cajun French Music Association and a Cajun dancer. I can reccommend this CD for dancing or just listening pleasure. Ann Savoy has been a favorite of mine since the first time I heard her with Michael Doucet and Her husband Marc. Ann has done a lot to help preserve the Cajun Culture and Dance in Louisiana. Thanks Ann!!!!!!
