General
Le Travaillant plays Cajun, Creole, and zydeco music, the dance music of French-speaking Louisiana. Although the band is based hundreds of miles from Cajun country in Chicago, its mission is to "Bring the Bayou Down By You."
The phrase "Le Travaillant" is Cajun French for "the working man," and its members have a great time living up to that name, playing long sets of upbeat two-steps and waltzes that keep feet energetically moving.
The band has performed at various Chicago area fests, museums Cajun restaurants, legendary music venues, public libraries, park districts, Kalamazoo College, and private engagements for a wide variety of events held by private and corporate clients that include the Lake Charles, Louisiana tourism board.
