Mouth of the Tobique is actually a New Brunswick tune in reference to the Tobique River that runs through part of north western New Brunswick around the Plaster Rock area.
why does someone always have to make negative comments based on ignorance? French Canadian music has a strong celtic influence from the Scots and Irish settlers who landed there in the early 1800s do your homework Asamin
Tellemore... the fiddling sounds more Scottish than Acadian to me, I hear the snap in it, which would be near the Cape Breton style. West Coast of Cape Breton still has an Acadian community around Cheticamp. However, Natalie is from the Scottish Cape Breton community and from a family steeped in Cape Breton music, and that is what I can hear in her music. Check out her relations: Buddy MacMaster and Andrea Beaton, all carriers of the Cape Breton style, which is based on 18th century Scottish fiddling. On the point of the Cajuns, the Acadians were banished from Cape Breton by the British in the late 1700s. Just a few pockets of Acadian culture survive in CB today. CB is a wonderful place and the music there is full of energy.
And your problem is?? People and cultures have swapped tunes going back hundreds of years, and each tradition adds a new twist. There's a whole book following Miss McLeod's Reel around the world.
Wow! This is great Irish music. Makes you want to get up and do some dancing.
Amazing ever Talented Ladies Sharon and Nathalie amazing so much thank you
Some great Cape Breton style near the end, Cape Breton home to the original Cajuns!
+Sean Laffey I thought that was Acadia in New Brunswick?
