Saturday's 13th Annual Mardi Gras Ball at the Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet Ballroom is one of the only authentic Louisiana Mardi Gras celebrations in southern New England. The event is costume optional with a variety of prizes for best costumes. A portion of the proceeds from this event benefit Very Special Arts, RI, an organization dedicated to giving physically and mentally challenged Rhode Islanders a chance to develop and fulfill their artistic potential. Four top notch bands and extended hours make this yearıs event a standout. The Grammy-nominated Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys have been dazzling audiences with their hybrid swamp pop/Cajun/zydeco brand of party music which includes rich harmonies. Chris Ardoin fast became a favorite with his infectious, energetic groove, when introduced a few years ago at the Ball and then at the Rhythm & Roots Festival. His new CD, Sweat is due out March 4th. His cousin Dexter Ardoin made a strong impression at his festival debut this past September performing the music which lies at the roots of contemporary Cajun and zydeco. For their first time on the bill, one of the Northeast's most popular zydeco acts, Lil' Anne & Hot Cayenne, add their spicy blend of rock, blues, and funk with a zydeco beat. Authentic Cajun and Creole cuisine will be offered for sale throughout the night. www.mamouplayboys.com www.chrisardoin.com; http://www.lsue.edu/acadgate/music/dexterardoin.htm; www.lilanneandhotcayenne.com
