Expect French two-steps, waltzes, zydeco grooves, and nonstop good-time energy. Fiddler Terry Huval started the Jambalaya Cajun Band in 1977. Both Terry Huval and Reggie Matte, the band’s accordionist who comes from Pointe Noire, are excellent vocalists. Huval and Matte have both been named to the Cajun French Music Association Hall of Fame. Ken David on bass and fiddle is joining them.
