Softcover. Lafayette, LA, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 1st, 2007, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 224 pages, color illustrations. Over its three decades, this festival, since 1977 the music component of Lafayettes Festivals Acadiens, has been a proving ground for an evolution. Older masters, such as Dennis McGee, Nathan Abshire, Clifton Chenier, Bois-Sec Ardoin, Canray Fontenot, and Dewey Balfa himself, have passed on, but not without handing off the baton to younger musicians, from Michael Doucet and Zachary Richard to Wayne Toups and Steve Riley to Chris Stafford and Wilson Savoy. These subsequent generations continue to revitalize old songs and create new ones within the traditional context. This book tells the inside story of this experiment in cultural self-preservation, taking the reader onstage, backstage, and into the crowd with schedules, commentary, and photographs from each year, exposing the cultural mission of festival organizers.
