Balfa Brothers - La Dance Des Mardi Gras - Slide show

Uploaded by SCRAMBLER390 on Jan 30, 2008
The Balfa Brothers. Many say they single handedly made cajun music a viable genre of music and popularized it in the 1960's. Dewey (violin), Will (violin) and Rodney (Guitar). This is the haunting and popular Mardi Gras dance song. Enjoy.

Great stuff. I was in the Marines with a lad by the name of LaCaze. This was his music. Semper Fi!

This definitely has to be one of my favourite Cajun tracks although I can scarcely understand a word they are singing.

@SCRAMBLER390 Don't worry, they're wrong with that correction. There is nothing wrong with this spelling like you have it. It is sometimes referred to as "Mardi Gras" dance because it the song played for the dance done at each house stop on the run.

its actually chanson de les mardi gras ~ the songs of mardi gras. not dance :)

@minnomouse1 If you ask Scrambler very nicely he might send the lyrics in French(naturally) to you. If you have basic French you can understand what the song is about.
