I hope you're still here Jack T..How did you like the food. I lived in Louisiana ( A little place called LaPlace) with my husband for four years and LOVED every moment we were there. The people, the zoo, the trolleys, the horse drawn carriages, the food, especially if cooked by Cajun Chef Justin Wilson.."I Gar-un-tee you'll love it"
I'm of Strong Irish Background and in Australia and first fell in Love with Cajun Music when I saw Southern Comfort also Powers Booth, Brion Jones, Dennis Quaid etc
What can you say.....get's your feet tapping & fills your heart....that's what music is all about. I f you feel sad just listen to this and it will make you smile and lift you heart. Thank you Cajun music. xx
The woman singing is Christine Balfa and her father was Dewey Balfa ... I am from them same town as she is and many a time I danced to their families music on the porches in Basile.
@@All5AJz Wow!! You are sooooo lucky. I first stumbled upon Cajun music when I went to see a family band called L’angelus who were touring in Ireland. They are a talented group of kids. We have lots of sessions here too but I do like that catchy Cajun music. 👍
@@All5AJz thank you soooo much. I’ve just listened to the Balfa brothers singing parley nous a boire. I’m definitely gonna have to watch the film southern comfort. Looks like I’m hooked!! 😁
Awesome, I love all this stuff. I'm a million miles away from this culture , Scotland to be precise,but I love Cajun music always have since I first heard it in a film called southern comfort,,,,,, if anyone else out there loves this let me know
Yes I do as well, ever since I bought a Johnny Allan lp in Swansea in the 70's , I live in Cardiff S.Wales. and this song brings me out in goose pimples....Its just so beautiful
Breathtakingly happy music..even if you can't speak French..this is music played by people who really understand what playing together means..fantastic
"I got da frission' fa shaw on dis!". Absolutely love it!!! Fiddles and accordion together??...All day long!! Born and raised in Boston Ma. Way up in the northeast, you don't hear Cajun tunes at all! (Folks are too uptight up here, they can't follow it.) I dropped my jaw when I heard it for the first time! Hooked ever since. Thank you for the video.
I am from PA,and now live in GA in a small town 40miles east of Atlanta.just discovered Cajun music last year.I am now 1000 % hooked for.life.My dad's side is part French no suprise I should luv this stuff
Good people, good music, lifts the soul. I listen to this nearly every day. It makes you move,dance , tap your foot to the beat. Big stress relief. Thanks!
LOL, I grew up in Ville Platte and often "visited" L'anse aux pailles. Great little community grocery store there with the best slogan ever....cold beer+hot boudin=good company
Scott, I grew up in Ville Platte. Left there in '61. Finished growing up in california. Now in Arizona. california was different but will never go back, but have revisited my roots at least 30-40 times since '61. Was there just 2 weeks ago......... Love that part of the world....... Jerry Marcantel, in Tucson)
Cajun music and Scottish music is my favorite with country music coming in third. I live me that french accordion and some bagpipes...man I bet they would sound great together.
Love this music. Met Dirk and his beautiful wife, probably been at least 20 yrs. Or more okay in Eastern ky. I even watched over their baby girl awhile. Wonderful people. So talented!

👍👌👏 Extremely rousing. Music full of joy for your heart, soul and feet! Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
Alyra3 We came from Canada and all different parts of France. There is A sad song about Napoleon selling Louisiana to France and honestly, I wish he had not, though we love the USA, because for a long time they did not let children speak their mother tongue, and the language died among many generations.
Coyote Trail Also many came from French forts on the Gulf of Mexico, after Spain took them and became part of the French in Louisiana. 6% of Louisiana French are French Basque.
@@lindacrawford6155 oh my Lord! I'm a new orleanian that loves anything new Orleans/Louisiana history related What was the name of the sad song about Napoleon selling Louisiana Do you remember the lyrics I'm quite interested
I have loved this sound my whole life. First encountered it in an Acadian town in New Brunswick, Canada, as a mere tot. Many years later studied the history of the Acadiennes - Le Grande Derangement (The British fools who thought they were from France? N'est pas!) And of course, one thing led to another, the first "A" was dropped when they reached what was still Louisianna (French territory)the second "a", the short "ah" was flattened to Aye, and we wound up with Cajun. This is the rhythm of the Saints. I could travel through galactic clusters, and never miss a beat.

keep on going courage!!
Lache pas la patate :)
Actually, their dialect is closer to the 16th century French from New Brunswick, Canada. Would make a great thesis.
Identity is not always about the country in which we're born, it's often more to do with what's born in us.
The world would be very boring if we were all the same, good on you for knowing who and what you are.
Greetings from Ireland. ☘️
Bravo pour ce morceau de culture française sur vous avez su préserver!!👏👏
Gros merci de France !!👋👍🌈👌
You younsters, please keep this culture alive and speak the language!!!
I am german and I can't stop foot tapping...Love it...its real music :-)
I think it has more to do with being human than German. Music is a language we all understand perfectly ❤️🌞🙏
Alot of cajuns also have german ancestry! You are close to us ❤
German too and I love this music ... immerhin sind die Instrumente aus Europa aber die Cajun people haben hinzugefügt ... was fantastisch ist ...
Mais que ça fait plaisir de voir cette francophonie en Amérique. N'oubliez jamais vos racines, ne perdez jamais votre langue, vous le regretterez ! Asteur tout le monde adore les Cadiens et je promets de venir visiter vos bayous un de ces jours !

Cajun French people have Celtic Roots; we share a common cultural bond.
i love cajun music especially this one, i'm 67 yrs old and have been in love with the accordion player for at least 4 yrs, he has the cutest dimples
What can you say.....get's your feet tapping & fills your heart....that's what music is all about. I f you feel sad just listen to this and it will make you smile and lift you heart. Thank you Cajun music. xx
In my opinion, Cajun is the best dance music ever! There's something magic about that tempo !
Now, that’s what I call a session. I love the accordion and I also love the fiddles. All together it’s a glorious sound. Magical!!!
The woman singing is Christine Balfa and her father was Dewey Balfa ... I am from them same town as she is and many a time I danced to their families music on the porches in Basile.

ken hunter Same from Edinburgh too wish there was more stuf like this playing in the Edinburgh folk scene
Sarf London here. I also heard Cajun music first in Southern Comfort and now I'm hooked. Wonderful , wonderful stuff.
You don't have to be Cajun to love their music. It is 100% floor stompin', dancin' and all around fine listening music.
Yes I do as well, ever since I bought a Johnny Allan lp in Swansea in the 70's , I live in Cardiff S.Wales. and this song brings me out in goose pimples....Its just so beautiful
Brilliant. From yorkshire England
I played this and a crawfish jumped out of the pot and started dancing.
😂
Could listen to you all day.
How can you not smile when listening to this. Nice job guys!
Oh yeah,me too!!!!🎻
Wilson Savoy's father made my accordion for me. Man is it wonderful!
To see a real cajun jam session like this just gives me a big smile and real feel good feeling 👊
J' aime votre musique qui nous emporte, continuez. Cela fait du bien.
Superbe musique entraînante ! Vive les Cajuns !
I tell you Cajun music is the most sublime music in the Western Hemisphere and maybe even the Eastern Hemisphere!
I love it and Canadian French music also. SiriusXM has 3 Canadian music channels with French music.
Even I, with two left feet want to dance to this tune..
I'll bet weekends at Christine Balfa's jome are nver boring. I'd love to spend one there!
Breathtakingly happy music..even if you can't speak French..this is music played by people who really understand what playing together means..fantastic
My Fav o rite ...Cajun song of all...!! Can't sit and listen ...gotta dance to this ...!!!

I enjoy the old stuff like this one. Takes me back to my childhood in fields outside Lafayette, in the 1940's. Thanks for posting, Richard
There's my first accordion teacher in there - Dirk Powell. Those damned videos I bought with him teaching got me started. What a time I've had!!
The Cajun people really know how to have a good time. "Leissez les bon temps roulez!"

That sounds like the folklore music we find in le Bas du Fleuve in Québec! I love it!
You know the Cajuns (Arcadians) came to Louisiana from Canada right?

What was the name of the sad song about Napoleon selling Louisiana
Do you remember the lyrics I'm quite interested
We're basically the same thing, just the Cajuns have more black (creole) influence
Continuer mes frères et soeurs , vous êtes épatant , longue vie , si je vais chez vous , ce sera en "Louisiane" Francophone..........................
Real people playing real music!!!!!! Hallelujah.
I have loved this sound my whole life. First encountered it in an Acadian town in New Brunswick, Canada, as a mere tot.
Many years later studied the history of the Acadiennes - Le Grande Derangement (The British fools who thought they were from France? N'est pas!)
And of course, one thing led to another, the first "A" was dropped when they reached what was still Louisianna (French territory)the second "a", the short "ah" was flattened to Aye, and we wound up with Cajun.
This is the rhythm of the Saints.
I could travel through galactic clusters, and never miss a beat.
This is why I love the movie Southern Comfort”!
