I cannot get enough of this group. The energy that goes into their playing, singing, and dancing is infectious. The two girls are so pretty, their brother is an amazing musician, and everybody is having fun. What's not to love?
Katie is one of the best guitarists around. Actually, if you can Isolate each one individually, they are all great musicians, but, Katie has got to be the unsung hero of the guitar. Speaking as a 40 year player, I only aspire to her greatness. Thank you, ma'am, for your subtle, ever impressive style and flair, and for the inspiration to never become complacent. You guys rock!
In response to the reviewer of the video of "Big Mamou" on RUclips, who claims that the members of L'Angélus are not "real Louisianans": Should we take a poll on who is a "real Louisianan?" The group hails from Lafayette, arguably the center of Cajun culture in Louisiana, if not the U.S.A., and these young musicians have roots in that culture. As for the reviewer's assertion that the members of L'Angélus are "Nashville-sounding frauds": Is this just some kind of ad hominem epithet hurled at music he doesn't like? Well, premier Cajun fiddler Hadley Castille played with L'Angélus, and you can see, and hear, the mutual enjoyment and musical respect between them in a RUclips video, where they perform Castille's fiddle tune "Le Swing Cajun." It doesn't get much more "real" than this. The members of L'Angélus are very good musicians. I may not be partial to their Motown and Van Morrison excursions, but chacun å son gout; they deserve credit for these imaginative forays. Their excursion into contemporary bluegrass in their version of "Wait a Minute," written by Herb Pedersen and recorded by the Seldom Scene, is both moving and original in its interpretation. And when they do hymns, Cajun tunes, and original Cajun-tinged tunes (like "Ça C'est Bon"), they are a tight-knit, authentic, energetic, personable and entertaining group. Let's hear it for vocal and instrumental talent, youthful enthusiasm, and just plain fun! Oh yeah: Gen Xers also have things to say musically.
I have seen and heard them play in Lafayette several times and in San Diego at Gator by the Bay. They are the real deal. In fact probably the best family band in the world with eight family members who play and sing.
He's just a cranky old Cajun who doesn't like rock and roll. My Cajun friend complained at the mention of "zydeco" which this is not. But the band is good, the fiddler is incredible, the girls are hot....
Love the song. But it's too bad the video editing was not so great. The videographer didn't include a lot of shots where the fiddler played some very good stuff, and more important, other than the refrain of the song. You can hear it in the background, but it would have been great to have actually seen the fiddler playing those parts.
So clean, real tight harmonies and lots of smiling, excellent, excellent.
14 years ago and another world even now and gone forever.

Funny how the girls are “pretty”, and the male has skills or talent. The girls seem to be pretty kick butt musicians. Maybe he’s the “pretty” one.
I had never heard of this group before, but L'Angelus can come play at my house anytime.
Y'all give me a jovial giggle fits and make me wanna dance! Extremely energetic & happy listening. Thanks!!
Fantastic family ! BRAVO !

This was a great show ! I miss the performances at Connolly's, and I hope that Laura will start them up again.
c'est superbe ! merci beaucoup
I saw a show of theirs ages ago (not this one) and it was so much fun! They’re so talented and spirited!
Can't wait for you to come back to New York City !!!!

I'd go to a gig of theirs. Unfortunately I'm in the U.K. so it's not likely to happen.

Well done, sir, and well argued. The other poster was ignorant and ungracious. A troll I would imagine and thus unworthy of your time.

swing a dead cat & hit a critic...see ya' at the next Breau Bridge dim bulb

Maybe it's because they do not sound authentically Cajun?
Top notch family great job
That dude can fiddle!
Sounds great! :)
HEAVEN HAVIN´FUN
Bravo!!!
Amazing violin player.

Please come by Nashville again!!!!!!!
If you don't like this band you are deaf and hate music.
Oh Katie --you spoke French--H O T- and all real!!!!!!!!!!!!
My feet won't be still!
yes thay are all good
Hey ha ha, I live in Big Mamou and sometimes in Lafayette on S College o_O

This has to be my favorite version of "Big Mamou". Is it available for purchase? N'est-ce pas?
Absolument d'acord

I love you music text me when you get this message

Obviously, this was not a highly produced video. This is more like a couple of people who took their home video cameras and recorded this video.
Niceeeeee video I like dear all.
Looks great fun,yeeha
Come on back . Vien me rejoindre .
1:37 she not from Mamou
Excellent. Très jolie n'est ce pas?
Very sad not there with my dancing shoes
SUPER PANIE I KOLEGA.
If you ain't got an accordin in the band, it ain't cajan.
Stevie actually does play accordion on other songs they have posted. He's an amazing talent-
As talented a group as I have heard. Incredible that they are siblings. However they do need to do more "up-tempo" stuff- how about Diggy Diggy Low?
J'taime
a Fiddle band-beware as this does not sound too good!
