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.

These musicians have years of experience with the best Zydeco bands that Louisiana has to offer (including Keith Frank, Chris Ardoin, T Broussard and Andre Thierry). This high energy band puts a new spin on songs you think you've heard before, and is in high demand at the dance halls and trail rides of Louisiana.
