Pure Créole music from Louisiana, Canray Fontenot (1922-1995) was one of the most popular Louisiana Fiddler. this syle was sometime called the "Black Cajun" or "La-La music" is the roots of Zydeco - This video is an extract from a longer movie that you can find on you-tube, but often I reset the film, I cleaned and improves the sound...

  • @montella111 - ok, you're probably right ! I have a lot of Louisiana documentary, I will look at this...

  • @ERICAJUNDELYON I have "J'ai été au Bal" documentary and I watched it many times and couldnt find this scene in it... I asume Canray is a bit older in this one here...
