Cajun and Zydeco dance enthusiasts who want to keep the music of Louisiana alive and thriving in Atlanta have joyfully formed the Atlanta Cajun Zydeco Association. Everybody loves a party! And what better way to “Let the Good Times Roll” than with a Cajun two-step or a Zydeco syncopated slide? If you play well with others and are looking for the chance to get your groove on, this is the place for you. Welcome.

The "men with the red suspenders" are back! Fiddler Terry Huval started Jambalaya Cajun Band in 1977 with his brother (whom he introduces as his former roommate) Tony on drums. Fluent in both English and Cajun French, the brothers are strong advocates of preserving the French language and Cajun culture in Louisiana. Joined by accordionist Reggie Matte, this band honors the musicians who have come before them, and allows the traditional music to evolve. Last year Terry texted Lisa, "Lots of Cajun accented therapeutic strong arms are coming your way!" They are good for what ails ya!
