Two items French language is taught k-12 and Cajun French is an older form of French The older 50's era cajuns like the Balfa brother's is in this type of French.That's why so many translation failure's happen . Long live real cajun music Video response you would have done better with metallica thats about how much you have in common with the Balfa brothers.
