Truly wonderful clip from Andre Gladu’s film on Cajun music, featuring the super-cool Cajun harmonica player Isom J. Fontenont. Dig the true vine Cajun language!! 1972!
Here is an awesome old cajun folk song called La Valse Criminel or The Criminal Waltz. This version is done by the legends the Balfa Brothers. So Good. I think that everyone should start to listen to old folk songs cause they tell stories they are the songs of the past and the cultures they come from, plus they are, like this tune, just amazing songs and music.
Clip is taken from Yasha Aginsky’s documentary “Les Blues de Balfa”. Dewey Balfa and his nephew Todd Balfa preforming Jai Ete Au Bal (I Went To The Dance).
