The Cajun Strangers play the dance music of the French speaking culture of southwest Louisiana on button accordion, fiddle, guitar, bass, drums, Cajun triangle(T-Fer), and rubboard. Most vocals are sung in Cajun French, and dances include the traditional two-steps and waltzes. We also add a mix of Cajun Blues, Zydeco, and Swamp Pop with some of these songs sung in English. We teach the traditional Cajun dancing styles but most types of ballroom and swing dancing can be done to our music. In addition to playing dances, the band plays in concert settings, clubs, and for weddings, parties and festivals of all kinds. Our CD titled "Valse a Deux Temps" was released in the fall of 2006 on Swallow Records and won the Prix Dehors de Nous award from the Cajun French Music Assn in 2007 for best Cajun CD outside of Louisiana. Our second CD on Swallow Records "Cajun Country Ramble" was released in May 2009.
