For over 30 years, Balfa Toujours has been a driving force in preserving and celebrating traditional Cajun music. Founded by Christine Balfa, daughter of the legendary fiddler Dewey Balfa, the band was created as a way to honor her father’s legacy and carry forward the vibrant musical traditions of the Balfa family.

Balfa Toujours, which translates to “still and always,” offers a heartfelt blend of traditional Cajun standards and lively, danceable original compositions inspired by their Louisiana roots. Every performance is a testament to the enduring spirit of Cajun culture, brimming with passion, authenticity, and the joy of community.

The band features a lineup of seasoned musicians with deep ties to Cajun music, including Christine Balfa on guitar, Jean-Jacques Aucoin on accordion, Blake Miller on fiddle, Shane Guidry on bass, and Jimmy Breaux on drums. Together, they create an energetic and unforgettable experience, making them a perfect addition to the Rhythm and Roots Music Festival.
