Although Feufollet has often been hailed as the future of Cajun music, a more current assessment must admit that they are now the present of Cajun music. Once idolized at at early age for their precocious musicianship and sent all over the world as youthful emblems of Acadiana’s cultural resurgence, the members of Feufollet have, in the meantime, grown into the music as young adults. While Feufollet remains central to the neotraditionalist brush fire they helped ignite as youths, their latest album finds the band coming into its own and pushing the envelope, leading the way once again as Cajun music extends itself into a new century. "En Couleurs" was nominated for a Grammy award in 2011 and was also championed by Elvis Costello, saying, "It is one of the most beautifully melodic albums I've heard all year." Now the band, with new singer/guitarist/fiddler Kelli Jones-Savoy, are working on new material as well as preparing for a new album due out later this year.and modern influences.
