The Balfa Brothers – Parlez Nous A Boire
Track: Parlez Nous A Boire
Artist: The Balfa Brothers
Album: The Balfa Brothers Play Traditional Cajun Music: Vols. 1 & 2
Label: Swallow Records
This is a studio version of the wonderful track featured in the movie Southern Comfort. Unfortunately, as best I know, the complete movie soundtrack was never released, so if you want to hear it in all its glory you’ll have to buy the DVD. It’s a good movie and the soundtrack, produced by Ry Cooder, is excellent.
Here’s Dewey Balfa describing his 1964 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, the first time Cajun music had featured there –
“I had played in house dances, family gatherings, maybe a dance hall where you might have seen as many as two hundred people at once. In fact, I doubt I had ever seen two hundred people at once. And in Newport, there were seventeen thousand. Seventeen thousand people who wouldn’t let us get off stage.”

Cajun Country
The Cajun culture sprang from the traditions of the Acadians who settled in South Louisiana following their expulsion from Nova Scotia in 1755. This French colonial culture melded with mainland French traditions already in place in Louisiana and with Spanish, Native American, English and German influences. In time, the mix evolved into the distinctive and unique Cajun culture found today in South Louisiana.
