| Four Hundred FiftySecond in the Famous People (FP) Series - Dewey Balfa |
 |
Dewey Balfa (March 20, 1927 – June 17, 1992) was a Cajun fiddler and singer.
Balfa was born near Mamou, Louisiana. He is perhaps best known for his 1964 performance at the Newport Folk Festival with Gladius Thibodeaux and Vinus LeJeune, where the group received an enthusiastic response from over seventeen thousand audience members. He sang the song "Parlez Nous à Boire" in the 1981 cult film Southern Comfort, in which he had a small role.
During World War II, Dewey worked in a shipyard in Orange, Texas. After returning in 1948, he and his brothers formed the Musical Brothers. In 1965, he formed The Balfa Brothers after that enthusiastic response at the Newport Folk Festival.
