Balfa Toujours revel in the vitality and richness of the acoustic Cajun tradition on this project, recorded at the Balfa home in La Pointe, Louisiana with vintage analog equipment. Both the original offerings and ancient classics shoot straight from the heart, leaving us with a sense that the music has been taken off the pedestal and put back into everyday life where it belongs. Balfa Toujours are looking to the center of the culture for emotional power and depth. In doing so they arrive at La Pointe (The Point) in more ways than one.
