R Cajun and the Zydeco Brothers
Twenty-six years in the making, R Cajun is Britain’s most widely known Cajun band. Since the early 1980s they have played a major part in creating the UK’s interest in Cajun music, and are commonly acknowledged as a pioneering force that has inspired many other bands in the industry to join the genre.
R Cajun are popular throughout Britain and abroad, having released seven albums, made numerous radio and television appearances, and introduced thousands to the dance music of the Louisiana bayous. As well as the best Cajun music you can hear this side of Lafayette, the band also take influence from Zydeco, Swamp Pop and Louisiana Blues.
The band combine the traditional line-up of accordion, fiddle, guitar and triangle with bass and drums to create a full, rich sound – one we’re sure will fill the dancefloors throughout Orkney.
