Festival Of American Folklife: South

The Smithsonian's celebration of the American South includes an array of terrific bands. Robert met with Michael Doucet (doo-SAY), the leader of the Cajun band Beausoleil (BOH-soh-LAY). He also listened to the Treme (TRAY-may) brass band from New Orleans, and the Birmingham Sunlights, a five-member a cappella (AH-kuh-PELL-uh) band.
