Album Notes

Christine Balfa is the youngest of Dewey Balfa’s four daughters. She grew up surrounded by the music of the Balfa Brothers. While still a teenager, she began playing triangle with her father and accompanied him across the country and to Europe. She plays guitar and is the primary vocalist in Balfa Toujours. Her guitar style is very close to that of her uncle, Rodney Balfa, who was famous for his driving rhythm. Her singing style is full of the raw emotion that enables the best Cajun singers to communicate powerful feelings directly to their listeners whether or not they can understand the French lyrics.
But none of that matters because, here, she just plays triangle and occasionally yells.
This album is a great gag gift for Cajun culture insiders and general musical pranksters.
