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.

 When highlighting Don’s album Le Necessaire the week of May 25-31, Floyd’s Record Shop said it best: The lyrics in the title track ”Let us, before we die, gather up our heritage and offer it to our children” is a reminder to all who love and respect Cajun music and culture. Atlanta Cajun Zydeco Association is humbled and proud to welcome back Don Fontenot and the talented musicians who travel with him. They are truly friends of Louisiana, and invite us to be as well.
