I don't know a lick of French or even the local cajun dialect, but I can't stop listening to all of their songs. So relaxing to just sit back and listen with not a care in the world.
This is the best band since the Corrs! Saw them Saturday in Manassas, VA and they totally blew my mind. I have since downloaded all their CDs through I-Tunes and purchased the Sacred Hymns Collection at the show. What a band!
"La Chandelle Est Allumée" ("The Candle is Alight") is a song that deals with the winds of change and the fact that there are now people out there capitalizing on Cajun culture, rather than trying to stifle it as in the past.
"I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." [Exodus 9:15-16 NIV]
It is vey encouraging to see some fine talented young people enjoying their music and their heritage. Most of my generation has lost the ability to carry on conversations in cajun French, but I still can follow a conversation and love the music!
Hi Reese family- love you guys &!just wanna say thanks for your music. Saw you at Let’s Zydeco NY & a NY church. Hope you are all well and enjoying life. Best wishes and luck in all your ventures
These kids were home schooled. They are devout Cajun Catholics from Lafayette Louisiana and just plain good to the bone. They are famous now but they still address their elders as sir and mam. Only in south Louisiana!
Awesome stuff. There simply aren't many places you can find positive, well played music. I come back to this often just because it lifts the spirit and feels good to listen to after a looooong week. Bless you guys, and keep it going. We Texas musicians are pulling for you!
I love this band sooo much I really do I have "liked" and "favorited" so many of their videos but I heard an Irish Tin Whistle... just wish someone was actually playing it...still love them so much
WOW! What an amazing and talented group you are! I'm so looking forward to seeing you perform live in Virginia this summer! Excellent Performance Video.
I wish you success in your musical travels as you continue the tradition of the French Troubadour who was a singer of folk songs during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. "Bon Chance" and "Au Revoir."
I’m French-Canadian catholic. Please record an album of catholic songs such as In This Life,Give Me Jesus, Be Sill My Soul, Ten Thousand Angels Cried, I Will Never Forget You,The Old Rugged Cross, On The Side Of Angels, Clinging to a Saving Hand, I Believe, What A Friend We Have In Jesus, Peace In The Valley,Amazing Grace,God Bless America,Star Spangled Banner please!
I really enjoyed this video. I saw your family a long time ago at the Elkhart County Fair in Goshen, Indiana. Then I kind of lost track of you. And when I saw a blog from The Namm show at Presonus.. there you were... I'm so happy for you guys and I just love your music...Take Care
The harmonies at the end of the song are just wonderful. Kind of has a haunting feel to it. Hard to describe, but one thing is for sure, you guys sure do know how to sing. Great stuff here.
je suis sous le charme, je vous ai découvert il y a peu en cherchant de la musique cajun, et je vous trouve magnifiques, très belle famille pleine de talents, je n'arrive pas à trouver vos cd en vente en France à part sur Itune que je déteste, dommage
A fine performance as usual from L'Angélus. And a great touch at the end - slowing the tempo and going to B&W - isn't l'Angelus the hour of the evening mass? There's a very beautiful, moving Van Gogh painting by that name of farmers pausing in the field at sunset to observe that special hour.
Super, Super, Super!!! You've got to get engaged at the American Folk Festival in Bangor, Maine. AFF draws 160,000 people each year. You would rock that festival. Take a look at the website. Great music, guys!!
What is the title of this song? Love the mix of traditional Cajun,classic country and Celtic styles.....this is down home music at its purest..makes me wish I can head down to their home state and take in the Cajun culture and savor its food and music!
L'Angelus do no notion of the sick guy in the comments. I am from the Netherlands and am a big fan of you all, so go through with this great good music.
Hey, guys. I caught you last night in Nashville at the hockey game show. I couldn't leave listening to you guys. You guys aren't just talented, but I rarely see groups these days who also seem to really like music and enjoy playing it. I had to look up more of you guys. You have yet another big fan in me. I love cajun music. Never thought I'd hear "We are Family" with a fiddle. On my way to order your CDs from your website. You guys have something special. God bless!
I should add that Vincent was inspired to make his own version of a painting by Jean-François Millet of the same title, not to steal from him of course, but to honor him and his humble subjects. Let's drink to the salt of the earth!!!!!
I'm not sure whether it is really the title of the song, but the most frequent word is "Allumée". The riff is: "La chandelle est allumée / Le vent a tout changé", meaning "The candle is lighted / The wind has changed everything". It refers surely about the sufferings of the Cajun people, and how they kept their joy of living.
Une famille extraordinaire la famille Rees, des Acadiens de Louisiane: la dame en blanc ... c'est la mère de tous les autres ! ! ! Et comme ils ont beaucoup d'humour ... le gamin de la video, aujourd'hui il prend un solo de trompette sur scène !
I have to get personal here - when I first discovered L'Angélus, I immediately got a heavy crush on Katie. Then I started to really notice Paige! I realized I was having a Ricky Nelson dilemma. (Some of you will remember The Lovin' Spoonful's "Did You Ever Have to Make up Your Mind?".) Et puis, j'ai vu la maman! So my dilemma got even worse - now it's a Benjamin Braddock thing! (Except for the fact that I'm older than any of them, and all three are happily married.) Oh, well. In my dreams.
Would anyone be able to give me the lyrics to the song! I'd love to learn it but I can't find the words anywhere! Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui pourrait me donner les paroles de cette chanson ? J'aimerais l'apprendre mais c'est difficile de trouver les paroles ....
Why doesn't Page play the upright bass in all of the other gigs instead of the bass guitar? She looks like Megan McCormick of the Globetrekker travel TV series while her brother, the fiddle player looks like a young Matthew Broderick in the Ferris Buehler's Day off movie.
The future of cajun music is in great hands with this beautiful family as a representative.
I don't know a lick of French or even the local cajun dialect, but I can't stop listening to all of their songs. So relaxing to just sit back and listen with not a care in the world.
Andrew Kajfasz love your comment Andrew it's so true
I hear ya. They are great great great. Better than all the top 40 crap, can listen to their album all day and not get tired of it.
You said it boss
Same here, I hear the music and I get song...
This is the best band since the Corrs! Saw them Saturday in Manassas, VA and they totally blew my mind. I have since downloaded all their CDs through I-Tunes and purchased the Sacred Hymns Collection at the show. What a band!
The're found on their latest album Ça C'est Bon. It is absolutely AWESOME!
It was soo good seeing littleeee Max, Kolbe and Angelle!!!😍😍😍They r so grown up now 💖
This is my sisters favorite L'Angelus song, I like it a bunch too.... :)
"La Chandelle Est Allumée" ("The Candle is Alight") is a song that deals with the winds of change and the fact that there are now people out there capitalizing on Cajun culture, rather than trying to stifle it as in the past.
Pas d'anglais a la table. Tu te souviens de notre heritage.
😢i😅
The video on TH-cam for the song entitled "La Chandelle Est Allumée" was fantastic. It is quite unique to hear songs in French. Au Revoir. Marc.
Watch these guys live had a county fair in Virginia. I bought one of their CDs and I've just about worn out. Love their music
"I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." [Exodus 9:15-16 NIV]

Man it makes me wanna dance around like a fool!
La joie est une émotion exprimant le sentiment d'exaltation agréable et profonde.
Un coucou de la France qui ne vous oublie pas !!!
Je me souviens ...

I may just speak for myself, but I still do here in NW, AR.
Awesome stuff. There simply aren't many places you can find positive, well played music. I come back to this often just because it lifts the spirit and feels good to listen to after a looooong week. Bless you guys, and keep it going. We Texas musicians are pulling for you!
14 years ago, how the time flies, see the Rees Family for some recent music.
I love this band sooo much I really do I have "liked" and "favorited" so many of their videos but I heard an Irish Tin Whistle... just wish someone was actually playing it...still love them so much
I commented on this video 7 years ago. I love everything about it and have watched it so many times over the years.
So Pure and So Beautiful!
WOW! What an amazing and talented group you are! I'm so looking forward to seeing you perform live in Virginia this summer! Excellent Performance Video.

You don't have to speak French to really enjoy this beautiful music. I enjoyed this song very much.
La Chandelle est Allumée et les chapeaux ont été otés et jetés dans l'air. Joie contagieuse, quoi, et de belles harmonies.
One of my favorites
I love this family, too.
As inspiring and lively as ever. Up until now I've only seen the four siblings - is that Mama Rees up there? She must be a proud mama.
Belle chanson qui apporte la joie de vivre et une grande envie de danser. bon boulot !!! a french fan
MERCI ILS SONT BEAUX JE VOUS AIME MERCI
I wish you success in your musical travels as you continue the tradition of the French Troubadour who was a singer of folk songs during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. "Bon Chance" and "Au Revoir."

Beautiful, love it. Thanks for posting this.
I'm so proud to be a Cajun......a little arrogant I know ......I'm also proud of whoever reads this
+deckape69 No need to apologize for being arrogant. Love their music, understand very little french.
Acadien!
Pas problème. We should all be proud of our roots.
Married to a Thibodeau- Lemoyne ! VIVE L'ACADIE !

Et comme ils ont beaucoup d'humour ... le gamin de la video, aujourd'hui il prend un solo de trompette sur scène !
superbe, il s'agit d'un groupe de Louisiane ou des des provinces maritimes canadiennes?
😍💖😍
SHE'S THE DANCING GUITARIST IN THE WHITE SHIRT ON THE BACK DOOR SONG WITH DL.
@harpman48 They also love what they'er doing.
Would you post this in english? I love your sound.
La chanson de Michel Fugain est à mon avis, tres adaptable au répertoire de L'ANGELUS;
je suis convaincu qu'ils feront "a good job of it"!
I have to get personal here - when I first discovered L'Angélus, I immediately got a heavy crush on Katie. Then I started to really notice Paige! I realized I was having a Ricky Nelson dilemma.

DID THEY PLAY ON - THE BACK DOOR - WITH DL?
Quelqu'un aurait les lyrics de la chanson ? C'est très beau en tout cas, salutation de France !
oldest is 25 eletric guitar, the one on bass is 24, violin player is 21. That is all I know
Would anyone be able to give me the lyrics to the song! I'd love to learn it but I can't find the words anywhere! Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui pourrait me donner les paroles de cette chanson ? J'aimerais l'apprendre mais c'est difficile de trouver les paroles ....
LA CHANDELLE EST ALLUMEE
th-cam.com/video/-YAgaeDLXTA/w-d-xo.html
Cest bon en TABARNACK WOW
Can someone please tell me the title of the song? Thanks. I don't speak French.
what is the song about?
they kick ass live.......touring with michael w smith
Might the question not be better put: "How young are they?"?
Why doesn't Page play the upright bass in all of the other gigs instead of the bass guitar? She looks like Megan McCormick of the Globetrekker travel TV series while her brother, the fiddle player looks like a young Matthew Broderick in the Ferris Buehler's Day off movie.
"Upright Bass" is called a Doghouse Bass.
I think they have Cajun/Irish ancestry but they were born in Louisiana.
Les Français son censé comprendre le Cajun ? C'est très beau en cas !
Les Cajuns Nouveaux.
Aussi bon qu'un Beaujolais Nouveau.
C'à aussi c'est bon. Un petit clin d'oeil au cajun septique... pardon je voulais dire celtique.
Il ya un grande difference!
Comment?
🙂
fresh, clean cut... LETTUCE SALAD !!!!
mind you I'm vegetarian
