For Marc & The Boiled Crawfish are open for both kinds of music, Cajun and Zydeco and even bring these two different cultures together. Their music melts the two styles into a whole without letting individual songs lose their distinctiveness. Cajun classics like «Travailler cest trop dur», «La porte den arrière», «Grand Mamou», «Les tracas de Todd Balfa» or «Jai passé devant ta porte» are played next to bluesy or smashing Zyceco songs like «My toot toot», «Best kept secret» or «Zydeco Mardi Gras».
Even though Marc & The Boiled Crawfish are taking this tradition seriously;
they dont let it restrict their interest and fun in musical experimentation.
Thus they are using congas, make their own arrangements and write also their
own songs.
Marc & The Boiled Crawfish are cultivating a tradition which belongs
to the important basics of the black Zydeco as well as to the white Cajun
music. Whether its called «Laissez les bon temps rouler»
or «Let the good times roll» the pleasure of playing music,
dancing, eating and drinking is the true essence of this music. Let us think
of all the songs which are actually recipes: Jambalaya, Gumbo, Boudin, Crawfish
etouffée. A concert from Marc & The Boiled Crawfish is a festival
of senses. After all, nobody cooks a Jambalaya better than chef Marc Bachmann!
