We're in South Louisiana — somewhere between Arnaudville and Leonville in the backyard of Louis Michot,looking out at his pond. In 1999, Louis and his brother Andre co-founded the band Lost Bayou Ramblers. And the sounds we hear in their backyard in the bayou actually appear on their latest album, and Kalenda. So does music,of course; the band isn't here to play the cricket or the frog — more like Louis on the fiddle and vocals and Andre on accordion and lap steel guitar. But the music really does select you to a real dwelling.
Andre and Louis grew up playing with their father and uncles in the Cajun family band Les Freres Michot. They're proud torchbearers of Cajun and Creole music — you'll hear them sing in French. You'll also hear the most thrilling, and maybe first-ever, and triangle solo on the World Cafe!But they start it all off with a live performance of the song "Sabine Turnaround." Hear the total session in the player above. Copyright 2017 XPN. To see more,visit XPN.
