''Traditional Cajun Music and Modern Cajun Music''
First of all, both songs are nice, and the language is cajun derivative French ''Cajun Frech''. In my opinion, the first song ''The Balfa Brothers'' is a romantic song, because the rythm is slow, and also the voice of the singer sounds romantic. I think is the perfect song to couples dance in a romantic way. Moreover, the second song is totally different, is more energeticic, people can dance in an energetic way and enjoy with friends.
I think that the instruments are: electric guitars, drum kit, acoustic guitar and fiddle.
I like it the first song..,because sounds romantic!

cajun music maripili
This topics are very exciting for me: creole, cajun. Culture meanings.
Now I heard the videos about the cajun music.
In the first one, it is clear the foreigner language, like a french. In the second one, it is different the language. The rhythm is similar, only more quickly in the last one. The instruments can saw it in the first video are cord instruments, but in the last one, I guess are electronic and acustic instruments like a piano. Maybe, in the brothers video is more sad and the couple dancing video is more happy.
it is exciting to know about this!!

house in new orleans Maripili
Hello everyone,
I had read about the houses in new orleans. I confused a little bit about it, but I think most houses in st. Charles are outbuildings. That houses have two floors.
I just living in a different house in uptown is called shotgun single.
That house has two floors too but it is divided in two narrow houses and each one is divided for floors. In summary are 4 families there. My house has a little storage area in the beginning, and useful for many activities dinning, tv, after that has a bedroom in the smae space, then kitcken, bathroom and finally my room, all of this in a line, the house has a common courtyard, with a washed room.
This is my shotgun single house in NO!!
