International Jam #601
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. This show takes off with a zydeco groove, with two popular south Louisiana groups: Keith Frank & the Soileau Family Band and Geno Delafose & French Rockin' Boogie. Cyril Neville and the Uptown All-Stars are masters at New Orleans Funk, while the music takes on a more international flair when pop singer Ismael Lo, from Senegal takes the stage.
