Beausoleil Avec Michael Doucet - Make The Veiller
Review by Maria Jose Ribas Albendea
Beausoleil Avec Michael Doucet's album "Make The Veiller" is a delightful and energetic collection of Cajun and Creole music. The group, led by Michael Doucet, showcases their mastery of traditional Louisiana music with a modern twist. The album features a mix of upbeat dance tunes and soulful ballads, all performed with the signature Beausoleil sound.
The album opens with the lively "La Terre de Mon Grandpere," a tribute to Doucet's grandfather and the land he worked on. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, with its infectious rhythm and lively fiddle playing. Another standout track is "L'Ouragon," a haunting and atmospheric ballad about a hurricane that devastated Louisiana in 1893. Doucet's vocals are particularly strong on this track, conveying the sadness and loss of those affected by the storm.
