It's so interesting; I speak Acadian French as my grandmother is from Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. I didn't realize how similar Cajun French and the Cajun accent is to Acadian spoken in Cape Breton. I understand that most Cajuns made it to Louisiana during the great expulsion, a few distant relatives of mine being some of those people, but up until now I didn't realize how similar we really were, even after all of this time.
So more interresting than the mainstream music culture we hear today Ça c'est de la bonne musique ça l'a une saveur, c'est authentique c'est tellement mieux que tous ces artistes américains qui sonnent pareils.
Jerome Fecto Oui, tout à fait vrai. Je suis Américain d'ascendance Québec. Je vis en Floride aujourd'hui. Je adore la musique authentique et la culture de mes cousins cajun. Je dois faire un voyage en Louisiane. Je me demande si il ya au moins quelques-uns qui parlent encore le français.
Such a wonderful reflection of what America is about- the melting pot of all the languages and traditions of the world into a big beautiful blend of culture
Superbe musique et entraînante chanson ! Vive les Cajuns et leur culture liée à leurs ancêtres français !
