Reminds me of the genuine cajun breakdown music I used to listen to in Evangeline country. Let's go boys!

I just watched a documentary on Cajun music for one of my college courses. There was a bit with Michael Doucet which stood out to me so I looked him up here.

I'm a beginning fiddle player (less than a year), and my interest had been confined to Irish and Scottish music. But the first time I heard this music it struck me as something I would love to play. I guess it's not surprising that Cajun music has Celtic roots, considering the effect it had on me! It has opened up my eyes to new things.

BlackSnap, you'll never be the same since you've heard Cajun, and heard it from some of the best. btdt

[stonemanherny]

I love Mick & Mitch too! If you like cajun fiddle, check out Hadley Castille & his granddaughter, Sarah Jayde Williams

[nyrab13]

If you like this Cajun style, and Celtic music, you should check out some Quebecois musicians as well- Yves Laurent & le Bebert Orchestra are exceptional! Quebec fiddlers also rhythmically use their feet (fiddle and feet they say), it's quite captivating!

[fifilafrance]

try some breton music too.

[fifilafrance]

try: "kerdenn:gavotte" on you tube;

You'll get some breton music.

[frenchcannuck]

@stormspinner1 I totally agree with you. He is very sweet with his fans and I love him so much like you.

I really appreciate your uploading this video. I much, much prefer this version than the one from Michael's cd Beau Solo because it has a fiddle and a guitar, not twin fiddles from two amazing fiddlers.

Je t'apprécie de uploading cette video parce que j'aime bien beaucoup ce version-la. L'un sur le CD de Michael s'appelle "Beausolo" est bon, mais il vas plus doucement que celui-ci. Aussi, l'un icitte a double violons, une chose qu'aussi j'aime bien beaucoup.

[katebush4]

mitch reed is my dad he is been playing fiddle sence he a kid!

[thiboba]

He is the best!

[stegoly]

Fais attention! J'été au bal hier au soir, a fais dodo avec ma chère toutoute. Michael Doucet et Beausoleil; on dansé tout la nuit et encore j'ai l' feu sous les pieds! Oui, oui! Pourquoi tu m'fé t'aimé comme ça?

I'd love to be able to speak the real Cajun stuff, now I'm just making it up!

Thanks for the terrific video! A bientôt!

[Spatcher]

I'd love to speak it too haha, I think we all make it up :P

[slb22000]

Eric, this is a wonderful video and I hated to see it end. Je t'adore Michael Doucet, especially with Mitchell Reed. Je pourrais écouter cette musique de violon pour le reste de ma vie.

[ericbreaux]

moi aussi,

marci

[DancingOwl]

Quelle joie que d'ecouter la vraie musique accadienne jouee avec tant d'emotion...Bravo et mille fois merci!

[MudSlinger1969]

Doucet is the older one on the right

[Eaux37]

Yes, Michael Doucet is on the right.

[mairabella]

I'm addicted to Michael Doucet and Beausoleil. Thanks so much for posting this video. Grand Tasso has always been one of the best for the great fiddling.
