Cajun Mardi Gras Song

2 Cajun Mardi Gras SongPerformed by Chris Miller-accordion. This traditional tune is a bit odd for Cajun accordion repertoire because it is in A minor. When I first heard this tune in my youth, it was never with a band…it was with solo accordion and/or voice. I provide a bit of stomping hear, there is usually a lot of that on the “Courir de Mardi Gras!” I always thought it had an odd sort of appeal–a quirky, haunting character…guess that really fits for Mardi Gras!

Music Jam 10-18-09 “Jambalaya” Cover [Hank Williams, Sr.]

2 Music Jam 10 18 09 Jambalaya Cover [Hank Williams, Sr.]Yet another part of our jam [I have lots more to come]. Now I have the mic & am proceeding to sing the classic Hank Williams Song “Jambalaya”. A real favorite amongst jam sessions due to it’s simple 2 chord progression [C & G in this case].

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
“Jambalaya (On the Bayou)” is a song credited to American country music singer Hank Williams that was first released in 1952. Named for a Creole and Cajun dish, jambalaya, it spawned numerous cover versions and has since achieved popularity in a number of music genres.

With a melody based on the Cajun song “Grand Texas”, some sources, including Allmusic, claim that the song was co-written by Williams and Moon Mullican, with Mullican uncredited but receiving ongoing royalties. Other sources claim that this was one of several songs which Williams purchased from other writers; a practice that was relatively common at the time.

Released in 1952, crediting Williams as the sole author, it was performed by Williams as a country song. It reached number one on the U.S. country charts for fourteen non consecutive weeks. “Jambalaya” remains one of Hank Williams most popular songs today.

Since the original melody of the song was from a Cajun French song called “Grand Texas”, the song is a staple of cajun culture. Although Williams changed the lyrics, he kept a Louisiana theme. In addition, Cajuns readily identified with the soulful sound of Williams. After Williams released his version, Cajuns recorded the song again using Cajun instruments. However, this time they used Williams’ lyrics translated into the Cajun French language. Over the past few decades, the Cajun French version has been performed by many Cajun bands including Aldus Roger and Jo-El Sonnier.
