The Cajun fiddler and singer for Lost Bayou Ramblers recalls learning to dance with his cousins while the family band played
Louis Michot, a talented fiddler and singer with the Grammy award-winning Cajun band Lost Bayou Ramblers, shared a sweet childhood music memory with Confetti Park.
Growing up, Louis would often join his father and uncles' band, Les Frères Michot, in the vibrant dance halls and restaurants of Lafayette. (Randalls, Mulates, Prejeans, etc.) It was there, amidst joyous community gatherings, that Louis learned to dance. He was only six or seven!
"I remember taking my cousins' arms, Effie and Rebecca, and we'd switch off.....It was kind of magic. We'd stay on the dance floor all night."
The spontaneous magic of dancing lively two-steps, waltzes and jitterbugs to the family band's music left a lasting impression on Louis. It remains a fond memory that continues to inspire his love for music and performance today.
Thank you, Louis, for sharing this childhood music memory!
You can hear Les Frères Michot perform one of the songs Louis recalls from that time, "Two-Step De Pilette," in this interview.
