Bill Boelens Presents: Festivals Acadiens 1991-1997

When Bill Boelens recorded the broadcasts of Festivals Acadiens et Créoles onto Hi-Fi VHS tapes from the KRVS 88.7 FM live feed, he unknowingly created the only recordings of the festival from the period of 1991-1997. This compact disc is a small sample, handpicked by Boelens, of some of the standout performances he captured. More information about the entire collection, held at the Center for Louisiana Studies, can be found here.
