When asked to describe their music, any one of these guys will usually scratch his head and say, "Well, it's a bit tough to describe....but it's a lot of fun to dance to!"

Bijoux Du Bayou started as a traditional Cajun/Zydeco cover band. But when the guys started performing their own material, other influences crept into the sound. That's what happens when a bunch of West Coast Canucks write Louisiana Zydeco.

Although still strongly Cajun and Zydeco rooted, you can hear New Orleans, Tex-Mex , Calypso, Swing,Rock and Country elements coming through Bijoux's distinct sound. The result is a musical gumbo that's sort of Cajun and very Canadian, making it Canajun music. But when you've got a sound that keeps the dance floor packed "tout la nuit," as they would say down South in Cajun Country, who cares what it's called?
