International Jam #402
This series of one-hour performance programs features artists from around the world. The shows were taped live, on location at the annual Festivale International de Louisiane in Lafayette, Louisiana. International Jam showcases many talented Louisiana artists and our indigenous music styles, while also exploring and comparing other cultures and music presented at the Festival International each year. The series offers viewers across the country a first-hand look at the Festival International and the variety of music that makes it so popular. Nathan and the Zydeco Cha-Cha's (Louisiana) set the tempo for this episode with their hot zydeco music. Also featured are Les Comperes Grat'Fils (Reunion Island) playing an eclectic, electric sound incorporating everything from Cajun music to the quadrille; exciting young Louisiana blue musician Tab Benoit; and zydeco wild man Terence Simien and the Mallet Playboys.
