WHAT
THE CRITICS SAY

“When
that driving beat starts up, every room turns into Mardi Gras --
a joyful reunion of clapping, jumping, swinging people who are having
the time of their lives. With their unique, mix of traditional Creole
and Cajun elements along with the contemporary sounds of blues,
funk and Afro-beat, the Boogaloo Swamis are taking Zydeco tradition
into the future, and making friends everywhere they go.”

| “Swamis latest (recording) is as real as it gets...What sets the Swamis apart from other bands that delve into the Louisiana offshoots of R&B is the variety of styles they can perform. Song to song, this group is a remarkable musical chameleon, rocking out here, doing a delicate two-step waltz there and coloring it all with infectious dance rhythms and an aura of carefree fun.” |
|
The Patriot Ledger
|
| “This is the best New Orleans music you’ll find outside the bayous...When this crowd came to check out the Boogaloo Swamis and their red hot mix of funk, R&B, Zydeco and more, they just couldn’t get over it. They were up dancing and clapping -- you name it.” |

“This
amazing collection of musicians and singers (is) sometimes referred
to as the Cajun Kings of New England...adding shuffling Cajun tempos
and swinging Zydeco beats to the mix means a clapping, dancing and
a rocking good time.”
