Cajun – Nous Autres Cajun Band Live – Cajun Dance
Here is a clip From the “Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler from Randol’s” show featuring Nous Autres cajun band. Randols is an authentic cajun resturant/dance hall located in Lafayette, Louisiana. They feature live cajun music almost every night of the week. I would recommend a trip there.

33rd Alaska Folk Festival Documentary
http://akfolkfest.org/
Director: David Nickerson
A New Media class traveled to Juneau, AK to capture the annual Alaskan Folk Festival. This is the beginning of what David has developed.
The Alaska Folk Festival is a unique event and can be compared more to a folk life festival than to the Folk Festivals that many of us have experienced. For the most part, no one gets paid. All concerts and events are free, but everyone is encouraged to become a member. Performers on the main stage have 15 minute sets. Dance sets in the dance hall Thursday – Saturday nights are one hour in length. Performers come from all over Alaska and also from other Northwest States as well as from just about everywhere else. Performances range from school groups to professionals. Many come from hundreds or thousands of miles away, every year. The Festival is a non profit organization funded mostly from memberships. Admittance to the festival itself is free.
We do bring up one guest artist and dance caller every year. For guest performers we look for people with roots in a musical tradition.

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.”
