  The expression laissez les bons temps rouler - let the good times roll - conveys the sense of exuberance and good times associated with southern Louisiana's cultural milieu. This title shows how vexed issues of cultural identity and authenticity are negotiated through the expressions of emotion, sensation, sound, and movement in Cajun music.
