Valcour Records
~ Label
Annotation
Record label begun by Joel Savoy, son of Cajun musicians Marc and Ann Savoy. Established by 2009 with at least nine releases of great roots music by younger Cajun and Louisiana Creole artists. Artists include Bonsoir Catin (translates as 'Goodnight doll' a Cajun term of endearment, though a near-obscenity in continental French), FeuFollet (Cajun French for the will o' the wisp, burning swamp gas), Linzay Young & Joel Savoy, and Cedric Watson (solo, with Corey Ledet, and as leader of Cedric Watson et L’Ésprit Créole (Creole spirit)). They have branched out to non-Cajun & Creole artists with the folk group the Figs and the Givers. There is some controversy over their release of Christine Balfa's solo triangle album Christine Balfa Plays the Triangle. It may be a practical joke.
