Traditional French Cajun folkmusic from the US.
Mixed songs and tunes.
Accordion, fiddle, guitar, percussion, bass, vocals.
The north-American Acadian Cajun culture is disappearing.
"I am the last of my generation to speak the Cajun Language. I deliberately did not teach any of my four children to speak it. Thanks to our government, I was punished, spanked and made fun of by my teachers who wanted me to speak the ''QUEEN'S ENGLISH''. I was detained by U.S. Customs upon returning from overseas and accused of being a spy because of my ignorant country, thinking everyone in America speaks English or Spanish only. My heavy Cajun accent caused the agents to ask 'What are you doing in American Uniform, we have no French people in America''. If you didn't learn Cajun at home, don't ruin it by trying to learn from a book. It is a 'spoken language' only, books cannot teach you the correct pronunciation. Today our government is wasting taxpayer's money, hiring teachers from other countries to revive the Cajun language. When will government learn, it don't work that way. After 40yrs of trying to 'revive' the Cajun language, I have not heard one person speaking it, even the accent is dying out, government don't know what they're doing. Government killed the language when I was a child. I didn't want my kids to be discriminated against b/c of their accent. I am proud to be American and ashamed what it did to people of different culture and languages. Cajun is my first language."

Being from Lafourche Parish, my grandmother raised me on this music. Every morning she'd have her alarm set to KLEB 1600 at 8:00 a.m. Those were some good times. I wish I spoke fluent Cajun French, but only know a few words and phrases. My Grom passed away in 2008 at the age of 87 due to complications of a stroke. I'll always treasure these memories of her.

All of my grandparents and great aunts and uncles, save one, have passed away in the last few years. I go my best to instill in my daughter a connection to her Cajun & Creole heritage. We are listenin' to this right now as we play a game of checkers as one side acting as American's and the other British in the War of 1812, after learning about The Battle of New Orleans and Jean Lefitte and the Ursuline Sisters and the intersession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, whom we venerate in our home. I pray she will never forget the amazing stock of folks who she came forth from and the way God provided for them through so many trials. God bless you, and may your Grom have eternal rest.

Unfortunately, true Cajon like probably your grandmother spoke is a spoken language. It can't really be taught. It ends up being too much French. True old time Cajon is unique and beautiful language. No doubt your grandmother was a great adorable woman. Treasure her memories and hold on to her sound as long as you can.

@haliplays8971 Жыл бұрын

Ehhh what people mean when they say the US has no culture is that there is no united culture or broadly united culture instead it's a mix of a ton of different cultures a melting pot per se. In this example, you put forth that for this being US culture this wouldn't be true for places outside of the proximity of Cajun culture (basically anywhere outside of Louisiana). Think of the difference between things such as Mormon culture in Utah compared to Little Italy in NYC to San Francisco Chinatown to Deepstate Georgia when you compare them you get VASTLY different cultures. Although, I do disagree with the notion that America has no culture we have ONE, and that one is practically inescapable; consumerism. Think about it consumerism is in every single aspect of our lives because it has been implanted into anywhere where it can, people form groups and communities around things like movies or games or social media, or products in general like Funko pops, Sanrio, Clothes (depending on the aesthetic), and even guns. Nothing connects America more than consumerism because it's practically one of the only forms of community in most areas besides religious communities and schooling when people are young. And in most places where consumerism hasn't touched the internet has filled that gap (in tangent with consumerism although). I hope I explained that well and maybe opens up more of a perspective, Cheers!

@@haliplays8971 I’d posit that it is that very same wide and diverse multitude of cultures that is in fact the ONE American culture. Think of it as a tapestry interwoven out of all those parts. Remove even one, and the rest of the whole becomes so different as to almost be unrecognizable. As an example, the progression from delta blues, to rock and roll, to hip hop. Remove any of the cultures that contributed to that chain from the whole and lose something vital to the music.

@@Chienqfume "Cajun" is a linguistic corruption of "Acadian". When the French lost Canada to Britain in the mid 1700s, the British removed French speaking people from the coastal region called Acadia (but not Quebec). Many of these Acadians relocated to French Louisiana, and over time the name Acadian changed to Cajun. The Cajuns are an ethnic group distinct from the Creole French in and around New Orleans, although I am sure that there has been a lot of intermarriage between the two.

My grandmother originally came from the panhandle of Florida an spoke French that she learned in her family's home. She relayed the story of her family was expelled from Acadia (French Canada) sometime around 1763 and dropped off in New Orleans.

@Bazza5000 3 жыл бұрын

They were luckier in some ways than other Acadiens expelled around 1765. Others were forced to go to various British colonies and split up from their neighbors and turned into English speakers in places like New England. Some even were indentured servants. True, some were welcomed and treated well enough in New England and adapted fine enough, but it was so hard. Acadia is originally what became Nova Scotia in Canada. I wonder how many thousands made it to Louisiana. I know over 10-12,000 were deported in total. A lot of the fighters were from New England who did that.

If any of y’all are going to Louisiana for Mardi gras, attend a traditional one, you will hear plenty of songs like this, everyone will be in traditional Cajun Mardi Gras costumes, and a lot of the time they will have a competition where people chase around a chicken. It was started when men on horseback in Louisiana went to houses in disguises begging for food and getting ingredients along the way to make a large communal gumbo. Once the chicken is caught, it’ll be added to a gumbo.

In my country (Brazil) the same thing happens. Nigeria's Yoruba language was banned, but today it resists the Candomblé religion. Nhangatu, the native American language, was banned by the Portuguese imperial court, nowadays few places speak that. Language and music is culture.
