Benoit. I am 70 year PTSD Vietnam vet Your music Brings happiness to my soul. I've Trying to follow you with a b flat harmonica You teach me a lot God bless Benoit.....
As a Scot...I think this music is one of the most lovely haunting melodies I've ever heard.....I am used to singing traditional Scottish and Irish...this makes me want to get up and glide across a pine dance floor...Vive la Cajun....
I stumbled across this video searching for french music of south Louisiana. I saw Lacassine in the post and it awoke many fond memories. When the video started I knew I hit the spot. In the mid 70s, I had two very good friends in Houston who carried me there to spend a weekend avec son amis. It was one of the best times I had ever had. They introduced me to their music, their food and their goodness. We returned many times. I remember a place where we camped called Whiskey Chitter. I loved those people. I am so lucky to have come across this video! And I will share it now. Bon temps!
Thank You for keeping this music alive!! My Daddy was raised in Bogalusa. I’m 1/2 Cajun and I was dancing from 3yrs old till 71. Keep it coming. God bless you!
This is one of my favorite renditions of this song. Beautifully unique. Many great dances at Randol’s over the years and grateful for all the good times there.
My favorite part of the music is seeing an old couple who have been dancing partners for decades step out at a festival or party and enjoy the music and dance for everyone.
This reminds me of going to Randol's to eat and dancing with my grandmother in between pots of crawfish. I miss those times so much. Thanks for posting.
The opening notes of the accordion did it for me. You can tell the music and the playing of the accordion comes from the heart. The melody is so pretty it just makes you smile, and take your girl on the dance floor. Thanks man!
I really love this song it reminds me of when my dad passed away He loved this song it was so good to hear a song that my dad loved God bless you Lee...
Was stationed in Biloxi, MS from 69-70 (Hurricane Camille) and spent many weekends in New Orleans with a cajun friend. Learned one thing for sure, if this music doesn't get you up and moving, you are dead!!! Thank you Lee for bringing back great memories of a beautiful city and the world's most hospitable people. Keep playing forever.
I have dreamed of cajun music for all my life.. being hispanic it gets my feet to tapping and makes me want to dance all night.. love your voice and the the smoothness of it. Love the music you play.. I will keep listining as long as you keep playing...ladytarot
I've always said that Hispanic and Cajun people were very closely related. Having had many Hispanic friends throughout life I learned how close our cultures were, lots of music, drinking, and great food were the center of both! Thank you for this comment, keep the cultures alive.
@@anonymousistre3248 - having grown up in Louisiana, I always felt the same. Loved the music that my Hispanic friends from Texas introduced me to. So similar to our awesome Cajun music.
You are an amazing singer and accordion player, sir! I have introduced your music to my English 1 students here in Brownsville, Texas (come on down!) on the border by the sea! I absolutely love your singing and playing. God bless you!
Thanks for the kind words. We played at that festival years back. Great time. We would love to go back. Nothing in the plans now but hopefully we can make it back there one day.
From a Nova Scotia Acadian brother, "I love this stuff"... music that was born from despair and tragedy. It's no wonder our culture has survived. The spirit of Acadian and Cajun music is enough to lift anyone's spirit. Bien faite Lee!!!!!!
Bonjour , Cousin ! ...... lol .....Me there , Hi am also an Acadian from northern Maine .... Many of us up here in the St. John Valley [ in northern Maine } ...... Leblanc is quite common here , also ..
And Bonjour, from another Cajun cousin, born in Michigan! My Mama was the first one off that terre bonne of Louisiana! Ancestors were LeBlancs & Benoits, so nice to find family here! Heading down to spend time with family soon and can't wait to be back in the land of my heart!
I'm French Canadian and I only understand a few words but I do not care cause I adore Cajun music. Going to Louisiana in May 2019. Been there 3 times already. never enough.
Maybe u can give me some knowledge...my last name Pinon I once met a lady married a French Canadian with the name ..now...my dad was Mexican...with grandmother from Belgium. Blond. Wen in NOLA i met Roger Pinon at Travelers aid. Hes a boat worker who was just on for his mail. I introduced mtmyself..he said he live across Lake Pontchatrain..lol. so i i hot French blood..tell me r u at all familiar with the name. I'll ck bk here from x 2 x. U can reply at me gmail.com. Merci
Smooth singing! Country music has Jim Reeves and Cajun music has Lee Benoit. All band members skilled. I appreciate that I can actually hear the bass notes your wife is playing. Bass is too often drowned out. Your dancers are clearly enjoying and appreciating the smooth vocals and perfect beat which is easy to keep.
This music is the happiest music on earth and my favorite by far of anything I have heard. If ever you need a lift up tune this music will lift your spirits. The music seems to go in different directions all at one time. Love it. Love everything Cajun! !
I've got my favorites who I believe represent Cajun music to its finest. They are; Jo El Sonnier, Doug Kershaw, The Savoy Family and Lee Benoit. Keep doing it Folks. You,re Great!
Une musique qui fait oublier ses soucis. Merci beaucoup d'avoir posté cette vidéo. Salutations chalereuses de Pologne à tous ceux qui écoutent du cajun!
This group is one of the reasons I want to visit New Orleans if not relocate there! Thank you for all of your joyous music...hey, hey people do still dance!
J'ai découvert la vidéo du groupe Lee Benoit et je suis littéralement tombée en amour de la musique cajun qui donne envie de danser ! Merci à vous tous et bravo
Je ne me lasse pas de vous écouter , vous êtes beau tous comme vous êtes je vous aimes, vraiment merci pr ce magnifique moment passer avec vous... si vois arrêté la musique c’est un crime contre l’humanité, on danse sans cesse moi ma femme et les enfants merci Merci Merci
Reminds of the days I played a guitar with some of these bands when I lived in Victoria, Texas as a kid . These people really enjoy life and work hard !!!!!
Every time I come back to watch this, I get stuck on it again. Have to watch them all, over & over & over. You're still the best, Lee. Not giving up hope on making it down there to meet you all. : )
I've listened to numerous different versions of this song, and I keep coming back to this one. Lee, your accordion playing is so tight and active. The rhythm section is keeping perfect time-triangle included. Keeping time like that isn't NOT as easy as it looks. As a percussionist from birth, I know this. This song is like the most beautiful metronome I've ever heard. I recently purchased an accordion just to start from scratch and try, one day in the distance future, to attempt this classic the way you do it. Thank you for sharing this!
I salute you from the north of México , I recognize your acordeon playing in the very same root than our " norteño" music , our heritage from the French invasion , glad to hear your marvelouse music
Mr.miaumiau I think all the old cultures used the accordion and fiddle. I lived in Mexico for awhile and love the music. I can see the similarities too.
I live in georgia but I really love that cajun music. Good music, good people and good times. Would love to be there with you all. Great job Lee. Love your music.
Cajun music, like Zydeco, Delta Blues and Bluegrass, to name a few, know no borders or boundaries. It's a music that speaks to the soul. If you don't hear it, do you even have a soul?
Lee, you are unreal! That voice - smoooooth as silk, and it goes perfectly with your accordion. I want a c.d. of your music tomorrow! I'll be up all night now playing everything I can find of you playing and singing - for real! Keep it up man. Don't really remember anyone singing cajun songs with such "on the note" smoothness. Thanks!!
Huge respect from Europe, my dads french from Orleans and my moms swedish , half gaul / frankish and viking.. Vive le France et la Louisiana et Quebec !!! Gaul et Francia
Great, I did not know this style of music until a few days ago. But now I listen to it every day and you are very good. I really like this song. I'm Italian live in Rome and I play the accordion style Italian I'd like to start playing this style. Very good.
Anyone else enjoying the happy couples dancing as much as I am right now? Zydeco is just happy music. I taught my babies how to keep time to Zydeco. Both of them are musicians. My oldest remembers me tapping on the console of the pickup truck. His little brother remembers me picking him up to "dance" with him in the kitchen. Music is a second language for them.
Fabulous; hard to keep still listening to this peppy little number! Makes me want to get up out of my chair and do the Cajun two-step (but my knees might have other ideas .... LOL)! GREAT music; AAIEEE! :D

Well Cajun music has origins from the Brittany region of France which has a Celtic culture just like Scotland.
love this.

This is one of my favorite renditions of this song. Beautifully unique. Many great dances at Randol’s over the years and grateful for all the good times there.
From a Mexican in the Chicago area who LOVES this music as much as my mariachi songs. Lee, you make my heart SING. I love your music.
Sitting drunk in Bavaria,south Germany. I love this music! I have a smile on my face.Thanks for the good music!

A smile from Québec !!!!
Reminds of the days I played a guitar with some of these bands when I lived in Victoria, Texas as a kid . These people really enjoy life and work hard !!!!!
This music makes my heart smile, but I see there are 398 people who dislike this. Now we know how many people have no soul and are dead inside.
They are jealous they are not Cajun.
I love it...
That's what I love about Cajuns. They can party like no one else on earth! Their joie de vivre is contagious!!!
Dennis Nayland Smith spot on their Dennis Eric from England
And Zydeco music is the only place you'll find an accordian being used as a lead instrument.
Not just Zydeco, although Lee is A good Cajun player..Many Mexican band have the accordion as the lead..
Dennis Nayland Smith ,yeah. Eee😎
Dennis Nayland Smith was
Love this guy
Love his voice and accordian
