History[]
Background[]
Byhalia was a beaver living in the bayou outside of New Orleans during the 1920s. Byhalia would use her beaver adaptations to create logs which she would use for percussive instrumentation. Byhalia used her musical abilities to play in the critter band "Zydeco Rainbow", where she was described as "The heartbeat of the band".
On February 27, 1927, Zydeco Rainbow was found by Princess Tiana and Louis the Alligator then recruited to join their Bayou Community Band and play at Fleur du Bayou. During this performance, she used her tail to play on the centre drum on a drum-set for the Bayou Community Band, being played by Prince Ralphie of Maldonia. The Bayou Community Band would go on the play nightly at "Critter Co-op" in the bayou.
