The only thing I know is that this tune is not a scottische either. I have heard a lot of scottisches in France, and they have a totally different rhythm. This Cajun "polka"has the same rhythm as a Cajun blues, but a different kind of melody. It's just a name. Cajun mazurkas are also completely differnet from "real"mazurkas. But, who cares?
hey peer! I read somewhere that cajun polkas aren't "really" polkas, but that is more like a scottish. From what I read, "scottish" was introduced in england and france under the name of "german polkas". But, the french and german relationships weren't very good, so french renamed this "german polka" as a scottish. From my idea, the cajuns could have kept the name polka for scottish,maybe because cajuns have had many contact with germans in Louisiana.do you know something about that?
really close from what I heard from segura brothers' record...congrats, I absolutly have to learn this one! do you know others old cajun tunes like this, I mean mazurkas, polkas, reels, gigs...'cause I only know about 4 old tune like that (only the ones which have been recorded and "everybody knows" in fact and I'd love to play many old cajun tunes like this!
Well Im sure there is someone, but Im sort of a self learner, I have played various other instruments in my time and learned how to play them myself. I dont know anyone personally and I dont like the idea of going out and find a stranger to teach me. Im just werd like that I guess :-/
wow this is neet, Im from New Iberia Louisiana, I know some Segura families, I work with a few Segura guys, I wonder if they are relation to the Segura brothers :-)
sounds great keep up the good work, by the way, how did you learn to play so well, I would love to get a squeeze box and learn but Im afraid its too hard and I dont have anyone to show me :-(
Hey, Peer! Enjoyed this! I forgot about this tune! I love these old polkas/schottiches. Hardly anyone around here plays them anymore. Glad you also enjoyed my vids. Keep pullin'!
I don't have a clue!
