Les chants de Noël en Louisiane

As the festive season approaches, the Département is organizing the 34th edition of Chants de Noël, with no fewer than 59 free concerts across the region. From gospel and sea shanties to Corsican and Brazilian traditions, Broadway and Louisiana, the 2026 program invites audiences to celebrate Christmas from every corner of the world.

Sarah Quintana & Dal Sasso Band celebrate the richness of Louisiana’s heritage, shaped by the blending of French, African, Native American and Caribbean cultures. Louisiana Christmas songs, with their distinctive languages, rhythms and sounds (Cajun French, Cajun, Creole, gospel, blues, zydeco), tell of another way of celebrating Christmas: warm, popular and deeply festive. Dive into the lively, spicy repertoire of the bayou and discover Louisiana’s musical spirit and living Francophone heritage.
