Identity is not always about the country in which we're born, it's often more to do with what's born in us. The world would be very boring if we were all the same, good on you for knowing who and what you are. Greetings from Ireland. ☘️
I;m french i lived in the USA long time . Louisiana is my favorite place of all world and the Cajun music is so close to what it used to be played in ol french festivasl
Nothing wrong with computer musicology trance music,it is so elevating.And can t a key you almost to heaven It is just another way to make.mu a ic we al l use xomputers for alot of stuff.Yes I love Cajun also
Cela fait chaud au cœur de savoir qu'il reste des gens qui n'oublient pas leurs racines. J'adore votre musique. Continuez. Bonjour d'un coin de France !
Awesome, I love all this stuff. I'm a million miles away from this culture , Scotland to be precise,but I love Cajun music always have since I first heard it in a film called southern comfort,,,,,, if anyone else out there loves this let me know
Yes I do as well, ever since I bought a Johnny Allan lp in Swansea in the 70's , I live in Cardiff S.Wales. and this song brings me out in goose pimples....Its just so beautiful

Just sat in bed in England watching this, it's 11.45 pm and my foots tapping like its got a mind of its own, fantastic piece of music, thanks for posting. Merci' .
What can you say.....get's your feet tapping & fills your heart....that's what music is all about. I f you feel sad just listen to this and it will make you smile and lift you heart. Thank you Cajun music. xx
The woman singing is Christine Balfa and her father was Dewey Balfa ... I am from them same town as she is and many a time I danced to their families music on the porches in Basile.
@@All5AJz Wow!! You are sooooo lucky. I first stumbled upon Cajun music when I went to see a family band called L’angelus who were touring in Ireland. They are a talented group of kids. We have lots of sessions here too but I do like that catchy Cajun music. 👍
@@All5AJz thank you soooo much. I’ve just listened to the Balfa brothers singing parley nous a boire. I’m definitely gonna have to watch the film southern comfort. Looks like I’m hooked!! 😁
Good people, good music, lifts the soul. I listen to this nearly every day. It makes you move,dance , tap your foot to the beat. Big stress relief. Thanks!
I hope you're still here Jack T..How did you like the food. I lived in Louisiana ( A little place called LaPlace) with my husband for four years and LOVED every moment we were there. The people, the zoo, the trolleys, the horse drawn carriages, the food, especially if cooked by Cajun Chef Justin Wilson.."I Gar-un-tee you'll love it"
I'm of Strong Irish Background and in Australia and first fell in Love with Cajun Music when I saw Southern Comfort also Powers Booth, Brion Jones, Dennis Quaid etc
Love this music. Met Dirk and his beautiful wife, probably been at least 20 yrs. Or more okay in Eastern ky. I even watched over their baby girl awhile. Wonderful people. So talented!
Cajun music and Scottish music is my favorite with country music coming in third. I live me that french accordion and some bagpipes...man I bet they would sound great together.
LOL, I grew up in Ville Platte and often "visited" L'anse aux pailles. Great little community grocery store there with the best slogan ever....cold beer+hot boudin=good company
Scott, I grew up in Ville Platte. Left there in '61. Finished growing up in california. Now in Arizona. california was different but will never go back, but have revisited my roots at least 30-40 times since '61. Was there just 2 weeks ago......... Love that part of the world....... Jerry Marcantel, in Tucson)
Breathtakingly happy music..even if you can't speak French..this is music played by people who really understand what playing together means..fantastic
merci du fond du cœur pour cette exceptionnelle musique qui nous prends aux trips il y a bien du vieux continent français là dessous, merçi encore......Marc
Se BON! I love you Christine...and Wilson and David...Dirk and all the others who make my world brighter with your music...please keep it up! A special shout out to The SAVOY family keep spreading the music! CAJUN POWER! And yes, I am cajun as well transplanted to Georgia!
"I got da frission' fa shaw on dis!". Absolutely love it!!! Fiddles and accordion together??...All day long!! Born and raised in Boston Ma. Way up in the northeast, you don't hear Cajun tunes at all! (Folks are too uptight up here, they can't follow it.) I dropped my jaw when I heard it for the first time! Hooked ever since. Thank you for the video.
I am from PA,and now live in GA in a small town 40miles east of Atlanta.just discovered Cajun music last year.I am now 1000 % hooked for.life.My dad's side is part French no suprise I should luv this stuff
graham rothwell you do not need to understand the words. I speak some Spanish, but not well enough to understand all the words in my favorite Spanish song. We can feel music.
Npthing wrong with EDM,Electronic dance music,just different stuff I love Csjun,as my papa is one half canadian french,And Native AmericanLove all music that makes one HAPPY
I am an Acadian American.... A Cajun from the swamps of Louisiana....thank all of you from France that see we vary our words and dialect but still consider us French.... Thank you... We are keeping the blood alive
keep on going courage!!
Lache pas la patate :)
Actually, their dialect is closer to the 16th century French from New Brunswick, Canada. Would make a great thesis.
Identity is not always about the country in which we're born, it's often more to do with what's born in us.
The world would be very boring if we were all the same, good on you for knowing who and what you are.
Greetings from Ireland. ☘️
Bravo pour ce morceau de culture française sur vous avez su préserver!!👏👏
Gros merci de France !!👋👍🌈👌
You younsters, please keep this culture alive and speak the language!!!
Heritage comes from swamp lands your music comes from there thank you.
I am german and I can't stop foot tapping...Love it...its real music :-)
I think it has more to do with being human than German. Music is a language we all understand perfectly ❤️🌞🙏
Alot of cajuns also have german ancestry! You are close to us ❤
German too and I love this music ... immerhin sind die Instrumente aus Europa aber die Cajun people haben hinzugefügt ... was fantastisch ist ...
Could listen to this music all day.
Ah Cajun music. Moves your feet, speaks to the soul and lifts the heart. I love it.
The minute the music starts your feet get to tappin. ALLEZ!!
Lagatille does that two ie moves your feet
Amen to that brother!
Lassez la bon temps roulle
I;m french i lived in the USA long time . Louisiana is my favorite place of all world and the Cajun music is so close to what it used to be played in ol french festivasl
Louisiane et France. Nous sommes toujours connectés
What a treat to hear music from the heart.The pure enjoyment these musicians do is far superior, then a computer
Nothing wrong with computer musicology trance music,it is so elevating.And can t a key you almost to heaven It is just another way to make.mu a ic we al l use xomputers for alot of stuff.Yes I love Cajun also
Cela fait chaud au cœur de savoir qu'il reste des gens qui n'oublient pas leurs racines. J'adore votre musique. Continuez. Bonjour d'un coin de France !
Unbelievably amazing! I'm so tired of pop music. This is good for the body and soul.
thats so true ... its so origin und deep and lively ...
i love cajun music especially this one, i'm 67 yrs old and have been in love with the accordion player for at least 4 yrs, he has the cutest dimples
Awesome, I love all this stuff. I'm a million miles away from this culture , Scotland to be precise,but I love Cajun music always have since I first heard it in a film called southern comfort,,,,,, if anyone else out there loves this let me know
I live in Edinburgh and I love it. John Peel played some. hooked.
ken hunter Same from Edinburgh too wish there was more stuf like this playing in the Edinburgh folk scene
Sarf London here. I also heard Cajun music first in Southern Comfort and now I'm hooked. Wonderful , wonderful stuff.
You don't have to be Cajun to love their music. It is 100% floor stompin', dancin' and all around fine listening music.
Yes I do as well, ever since I bought a Johnny Allan lp in Swansea in the 70's , I live in Cardiff S.Wales. and this song brings me out in goose pimples....Its just so beautiful
I'm Scottish and hear the similarity from my country. This is music for not sitting still. Brilliant!
Lots of scots replying to this stuff, very interesting! Im from Edinburgh and am becoming obsessed with Cajun, love it so much
Paul Cumming can not stop my foot tapping
And I love Scotland's music...Piper here w/ Scottish heritage..G.G.Grandfather was from Tweedside District.
Not surprised. A lot of Cajuns and French Canadians are descended from the Celtic part of France.

Quel merveilleux sourire cette fabuleuse Christine Balfa ! Merci pour cette prestation d'envergure !
Greetings from Newfoundland, Canada!
Salutations de Terre Neuve, Canada!
Mais oui ca cest de la bonne musique, la nouvelle generations des Balfa es les Savoy.
What can you say.....get's your feet tapping & fills your heart....that's what music is all about. I f you feel sad just listen to this and it will make you smile and lift you heart. Thank you Cajun music. xx
In my opinion, Cajun is the best dance music ever! There's something magic about that tempo !
I've always lived in Appalachia. But this music feels like home.
Now, that’s what I call a session. I love the accordion and I also love the fiddles. All together it’s a glorious sound. Magical!!!
The woman singing is Christine Balfa and her father was Dewey Balfa ... I am from them same town as she is and many a time I danced to their families music on the porches in Basile.
@@All5AJz Wow!! You are sooooo lucky. I first stumbled upon Cajun music when I went to see a family band called L’angelus who were touring in Ireland. They are a talented group of kids. We have lots of sessions here too but I do like that catchy Cajun music. 👍
@@KenDodd1317 I love that your share a love of our hearts and almost lost music. We welcome you ...
@@All5AJz thank you soooo much. I’ve just listened to the
Balfa brothers singing parley nous a boire. I’m definitely gonna have to watch the film southern comfort. Looks like I’m hooked!! 😁
@@KenDodd1317 I am too... Look up Steve Riley on Facebook. He and his children do music on live Sunday's. The world is connected now. 😘😀🙏💃
Wilson Savoy's father made my accordion for me. Man is it wonderful!
Real songs on real instruments, it's called music making! Thanks for posting.
Not that ear burning acid rock drek but real music 🎻🪕🪈
How can you not smile when listening to this. Nice job guys!
Oh yeah,me too!!!!🎻
J' aime votre musique qui nous emporte, continuez. Cela fait du bien.
I tell you Cajun music is the most sublime music in the Western Hemisphere and maybe even the Eastern Hemisphere!
I love it and Canadian French music also. SiriusXM has 3 Canadian music channels with French music.
Even I, with two left feet want to dance to this tune..
I'll bet weekends at Christine Balfa's jome are nver boring. I'd love to spend one there!
My Fav o rite ...Cajun song of all...!! Can't sit and listen ...gotta dance to this ...!!!
Superbe musique entraînante ! Vive les Cajuns !
Good people, good music, lifts the soul. I listen to this nearly every day. It makes you move,dance , tap your foot to the beat. Big stress relief. Thanks!
