Had an uncle, Milton Touchet, who died in '08 and after his wake and his Catholic mass we gathered in the cemetery of the Catholic church in Erath, La for his burial. I never experienced this before but a man sang a French song for my uncle at his casket. Didn't know the words of the song since I don't speak French but I later learned that the man who sang the French song was the one & only D. L. Menard. Obviously they both knew each other and it was a great honor for my uncle to be sang a song at his burial by the great Cajun musician D. L. Menard.
What is so fantastic about this entire video is the fact that Mr. Menard's musicians are young folks. Young folks to keep the values and traditions of South Louisiane going!!
Cajun singers have a damn unique voice. I can't get enough, how come in Mexico we didn't have this!!!!!! sound like we could probably collaborate on something.
Went to Mr. Menard's house in 1992 or so to interview him for a project on Louisiana history. He was very kind, and sang for us live in his living room!
J'aime ca beaucoup! Il y a quelques annees j'ai habite a Pierre Part, Louisiana et j'ecoutais souvent a cette musique. La Louisiane et ces gens me manquent beaucoup! Merci bien, mes amis!
This gives me chills! These guys are so young but super talented! It's obvious DL is having a great time. Let's all pray these youngsters carry on the rich tradition of the finest music of all.
I am of Acadian descent from Canada. The Cajuns are our cousins. D.L. Menard's 'Back Door' sounds so much like Acadian music. All the same musical instruments are used. August 15 is the Acadian National Festival. The Cajuns are just as much a part of it.

Two pretty girls (women) , dressed up, looking pretty, dancing, smiling, singing, and the camera operator acting like he can’t even see them

Please make America like this again!!!! please please god!!!!!! Love from Russia1!
Just found this in 2019. Can’t stop watching this. The purity of young and old playing music together so carefree in a backyard is just so beautiful.
I'd take this any time over the Hollywood bunch.
I traveled around the USA in 1982 for a year, and the nicest warmest people I met were in Louisiana and Mississippi. Kiaora from Aotearoa New Zealand.

He is playing with four kids. Goes to show the vitality of his music and his attitude. Great smiles.
I just found in 2023. I love it!! God bless you and hello from North Dakota.
Whoever recorded this and posted it, thank you. I am a lot of your views.
Cajun music can make your day wonderful! So pure and unique...never tire of hearing it. Thank you all & keep playing!

One of the so many cultures in the US with their own great style of music. Love it.
This is why I love Louisiana and always will
