02/19/2013 Cajun music!

Hello classmastes!

I really like to learn to dance the music of Jamie Bergeron!  it's really invite to dance and have fun!

1) What language are these people singing in?

Balfa Brothers:
The language is French but the pronunciation is so different from the French speakers that I have listed before. The rhythm of the music is slowly.

Jamie Bergeron:
The son is in English.

 2) What is the difference between "traditional" Cajun music and "modern" Cajun music? 

Traditional music use classic instruments in comparison with the modern that beside classic instruments, introduce electronics instruments.

Another difference is the rhythm in traditional is slowly while in modern the tempo is more quickly.


3) What instruments are they playing?

In the song of Balfa Brothers I heard the follow instruments:

.- Violin
.- Clasic Guitar
-. One metal instrument that produce high frecuncy and
.- accordion.

In the Jamie Bergoren the rhythm of the music is more happy and invite to dance.

Moderns instruments are included like electronic guitar, electronic keyboard, drum set and the classic instruments such as accordion and violin.

  1. Hi Carlos,

    Modern Cajun music is definitely much more like modern country dance music! The Jamie Bergeron song is actually in French, too. :) He's hard to understand. I had to listen very close to hear what language he was singing in!

    2/2
