La Bande Feufollet, a sextet of teenagers from the Lafayette, La., region, is carrying on Cajun community and family traditions and is committed to the Louisiana French language and music of Cajun Louisiana.

The group performs original and traditional songs in French. Some of these songs came to Louisiana with the first Cajun settlers during the 18th and 19th centuries. The band also draws upon a rich recorded archive and looks to contemporary Cajun performers for tunes and songs.

La Bande Feufollet is active in promoting the culture and heritage of Louisiana. Several of its members have participated in French immersion programs at school and are fluent in French. The group released its self-titled first CD in the spring of 1999; its newest album, “Belle Louisiane,” was released in 2001.

Accordionist Chris Stafford’s love for Cajun culture and music and his ability to speak French were instrumental in his becoming a musician. Stafford was born in 1987 and at age 8 began learning accordion to accompany Les Petits Amis singing group, which led to the formation of the Les Acadiens Cajun band and eventually La Bande Feufollet. He now plays accordion, guitar, bass, fiddle, piano, mandolin and trumpet and writes songs. In recent years, he has worked closely with his musical mentor, Steve Riley (of The Mamou Playboys), a student of legendary fiddler Dewey Balfa.

Chris Segura, 18, began playing the fiddle at age 4. His musical roots extend back to his great-grandfather fiddler Robert “Vab” Fontenot of Ville Platte, La. During his grade school years, Segura made several appearances with fiddler Harry LaFleur at festivals and other performances. He also appeared on Louisiana Public Television’s “Great Performances: Songs of Six Families” with Steve Riley. He admires the old-time fiddling of Cajun pioneers Dennis McGee, Harry Choates and Wayne Perry and has a special appreciation for the works of contemporary musicians Michael Doucet, Mitchell Reed and Daniel Leblanc.

Maegen Benoit of Rayne, La., is the daughter of Cajun musicians Lee and Valerie Benoit. She began playing the triangle at age 8 and later took up the drums. She has appeared on several television programs with her dad’s band, Lee Benoit and the Bayou Stompers, as well as a national television commercial with young accordionist Hunter Hayes for the Louisiana Department of Tourism.

Anna Laura Edmiston (vocals) was born in Lafayette, La., in 1986 and raised in a French-speaking family. She lived in Montreal for four years, where she took piano lessons and studied music at the McGill University Conservatory of Music. During her last year in Montreal, she collaborated with other local artists to write a French theme song for her school. This song was recorded and sold 2,500 copies to help raise money for her school. In 1997, Edmiston and her mother moved back to Lafayette where she continued her piano lessons and took singing lessons at the Acadiana Symphony Conservatory of Music.

Feufollet’s bassist, Derek Hebert, lives in Broussard, La., and attends Comeaux High School. Hebert has been playing music professionally since age 11. He plays bass, guitar and accordion. He has had first-place finishes in accordion contests at the Crowley International Rice Festival and Church Point’s Buggy Festival. After performing with the group at the Lotus Festival in Bloomington, Ind., he was asked to join La Bande Feufollet. He studies music and bass under master bassist Blaine Arnold from Lafayette, La.
