Description
Fred's Lounge in Mamou is more than the Cajun Music Capital of the World. The village on the Louisiana prairie is the spiritual center of the universe for anyone who loves the foot-tapping tunes played by bands built around an accordion and fiddle player and Fred's is the epicenter.
The town of Mamou, population around 3,200, is the Cajun Music Capital of the World and every Saturday morning since 1962, this musical heritage is celebrated with a live radio broadcast called Fred�s Lounge Radio Show on station KVPI (1050AM) . Catch the show between 9:05 and 11 a.m.
Fred�s Lounge is loud, crowded and a deliciously bizarre mix of local flavor and tourist attraction. Tasting this slice of Cajun life is an experience you'll always cherish.
On the surface, Fred's place looks like any ordinary red brick beer joint. But promptly at 9:15 on Saturday mornings when the announcer steps to the microphone on the makeshift stage roped out of the center of the dance floor, Fred's Lounge becomes the most beautiful place in the world. With a hearty laissez les bon temps roulez.
