Pronounced “fay dough dough”, it is a Cajun dance party, after the children have gone to sleep. “Fais do-do” means “go to sleep,” and it is believed to have been used by parents who would put their children to sleep before going to town to dance all night. Also, some say “fais do-do” refers to a special room at a dance hall reserved for children to sleep where they couldn’t hear the raucous party going on in the next room, where their parents were dancing their hearts out.
