The wetlands community of Isleton, California, is a far distance from the Louisiana wetlands. One weekend a year, however, Isleton holds a crawdad (crawfish) festival complete with Cajun music. In 2001, Creole fiddler Jesse Legé and Cajun accordionist Edward Poullard were featured performers at the festival. Accompanied by the Cajun All-Stars, Legé and Poullard open with Alphonse Ardoin and Canray Fontenot’s “Quoi Faire” (Why?) and close with Clifton Chenier’s “Zydeco Sont Des Sale” (Salt the Beans). In between, the duo play an exciting mix of Creole and Cajun dance music.
