About / Biography

Dicilabas brings a touch of Louisiana to your event. We play tunes from the early jazz era (1920s and 30s), with a swing feel and a hint of carribean vibes. Double bass, guitar, vocals and washboard will make you groove to the sound of the feverish refrains of the bayou. Swing like a runaway train!
