The sound of Cajun music has changed a lot over the last century. Used to be Cajun music was house music. It was played on porches and in living rooms at the end of long days, when neighbors and family would come around with instruments and maybe a dish of something in hand. As the century rolled on, music was still played at home, but more and more folks went to dance halls for fun on the weekend nights. the Lafayette Rhythm Devils like playing in dance halls. They are, in fact, proud of their dance hall sound. They play Cajun music the way it sounded at the beginning of the twentieth century: fast, spontaneous and personal. This isn't music to sit in your chair and listen to. This is music that plays as you press your cheek aaginst someone while passing across a dance floor. This is music made by a band that works hard on stage to make music for people who work hard during the week. Enjoy it. --John Laudun Professor of Folklore, University of Louisiana at Lafayette
