A Classic Cajun song!

This is a great classic, and one of the first songs players learn. Ceci est une pièce incontournable, et une des premières pièces que les accordéonistes cajun apprennent.

Cajun fiddler Michael Doucet performs with David Doucet and Mitchell Reed

admin — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:37:27 +0000

…from the 2007 Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Michael Doucet, fiddler, composer, and bandleader, is perhaps the single most important figure in the revitalization of Cajun music in the USA. Cajun is the shorthand name for the French settlers of southwest Louisiana who were expelled from the Acadian region of Canada in the 18th century. During the first half of the 20th century, both the language and music of French Louisiana seemed to be in decline. In 1975, Doucet applied to the National Endowment for the Arts for an apprenticeship grant to study with and document the master fiddlers of his region. As a result of this project, he was able to learn first-hand from the great masters of Cajun and Creole music with links to an earlier era.

Find Michael Doucets Smithsonian Folkways album, From Now On, at http://www.folkways.si.edu/albumdetails.aspx?itemid=3207

1987 The Big Easy Opening & Closing Themes with Credits

admin — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 22:51:42 +0000

Here is the opening and closing themes, with credits, from the 1987 New Orleans film “The Big Easy” starring Dennis Quaid as Renny McSwain and Ellen Barkin as Anne Osborne. The opening theme is the fantastic Beau Soleil with their rousing rendition of “Zydeco Gris Gris”. The closing theme is provided by legendary Buckwheat Zydeco and his “Buck’s Nouvelle Jolen Blon”. I fell in love with Louisiana and the Cajun/Creole culture from seeing this movie before I ever lived there.
