BobCajun
rose in the year 2002 out of the ashes of Y2Cajun,
a very popular local outfit that zydeco-ed in the new millennium and
then burned up like the fireworks that followed. Taking a more
considered and crafty approach than its predecessor, BobCajun is an
intriguing group that makes no apology for its political and
geographical place on the world map. Brazenly plucking the American
Eagle of some its finest plumage, the members of BobCajun impishly
flaunt their booty like the thieving rascals that they are. What
people find in a performance by BobCajun is not the typical fawning
obeisance to a near-static and foreign cultural tradition, but a
kind of finders/keepers exultation that gives this old music not
just warmth, but that vital element of nose-thumbing sass. While
evocative of a warmer climate and a simpler time, the music is not
shackled by the burden of its origin- not, at least, after these
Canajun renegades have wrenched it loose. This is what makes the
music of BobCajun so eminently suited to hip Canadian- it is
enjoyable for the elegant pleasure of its hearing, while even
sweeter in the knowledge that it has been "liberated" (in
the way Huck Finn would "liberate" a chicken) from the
Mighty Bumptious Oaf south of the border.
