	Cajun Jig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cajun Jig, also called Cajun One Step is the simplest one of all Cajun dances.
		Despite the single kind of step, variations of the handhold combined with turns give the dance infinitely many dance moves.
		Using this step and holding each other's hands all the time, you may readily go in and out of cuddle (sweetheart), tie pretzels, turn inside out from face-to-face to back-to-back, or just simply walk around each other for a change in any of dance positions you happen to stuck in.

	Cajun Music
		Cajun music and folklife festivals abounded, where youngsters could actually see and hear Cajun musicians (law had kept them out of the bars and dancehalls where the music had previously been played).
		Only about a quarter of this disc, strictly speaking, is Cajun, most of it in a modern vein, with country and pop influences clearly showing in the use of electric guitar and bass, drum kit, pedal steel, banjo, and other instruments.
		Both times Cajun musicians decided instead to use what they could of the mainstream culture within what they felt to be the idiom of Cajun music, and to discard the rest.

		For playing in C or G, the Cajun fiddlers would tune their instruments down one step, making the open strings A-C-G-D. According to Francois, some artists would keep two fiddles so they wouldn't have to retune between numbers.

	California Cajun Orchestra
		The music of the California Cajun Orchestra and the Aux Cajunals is an older traditional style of Cajun music than is usually heard nowadays; its roots go back more than 100 years.
		The Cajun accordion has one row of melody buttons, which produce a different note depending on whether the bellows are being pushed or pulled (much like a harmonica), and two chord buttons, which also produce different notes on the push and the pull.
		The fiddle is often tuned a whole step low (when playing along with a C accordion), which allows the fiddler to use open strings when playing in C and G. The fiddler sometimes plays the melody and at other times plays a chordal accompaniment known as "seconding".

		Southwestern Louisiana Cajun culture, born of the French Acadians displaced when their homeland was taken over by the British in the mid-1700s, is celebrated for both its food and its music.
		Cajun music is related to but distinct from zydeco; both feature the accordion as lead instrument, but the latter incorporates electric guitar and pays a greater debt to rhythm & blues than does the older-fashioned acoustic stylings of the former.
		To that end, there is still a great deal of room for an influx of influences in Cajun music, such as the country flavor of the Jambalaya Cajun Band's version of the popular "Les Flammes d'en Fer" as it appears on this collection.

	Reviews VRCD 325 Marc Savoy: Made In Louisiana
		Savoy is a brilliant cajun accordion player using here mostly the ten button German accordion, an instrument of great fullness and in the hands of this expert, an instrument of endless variety from the fleet notes of "Eunice One Step" to the oompah of "Chere Petite" with its laconic melody.
		This is Cajun music in as pure a state as one is likely to hear these days.
		In an era when Cajun music has nearly been modernized out of existence by the use of electric instruments and pop-rock production strategies, this album is a breath of fresh air.

		As always, they were tight, and their combination of Cajun, New Orleans Blues, R&B, and Afro-Caribbean influenced jazz recalled the days of Little Red and the Renegades.
		Most of the Cajun tunes were played at a tempo more appropriate for polka and Zydeco than a Cajun one-step or two-step.
		For Cajun and Zydeco dancers, the primary attraction is appeal to our nostalgic recollection of Tornado Alley, which the venue was called from 1991-95 when it was managed by Mark Gretchel (now proprietor of Twist and Shout in Bethesda).

	Splendid Magazine reviews Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band: The Best of...
		It's happened on three straight occasions, so this needs to be mentioned: when Michael Doucet's crawfish-clawing vocals snap through the accordion-stomping "One-Step De Chameau", my female cat gets right up against my speakers and looks into them like she's just spotted her favorite Whiskas cat treats.
		The Savoy-Doucet Cajun Band specialize in producing such moments -- not specifically cat-related, of course, but they want you to stop and think.
		They're far more than merely the best traditional Cajun band you'll ever likely hear; they glorify the grand history of Cajun music, and make you hungry for all of it.

		These 26 tracks (remastered from nostalgically scratchy 78s) document Cajun music's greatest fiddler performing duets on the so-called devil's instrument with either Ernest Fruge or Sady Courville during the era just prior to when guitar and accordion became intrinsic parts of the Cajun sound.
		The work of this seminal fiddler, who died in 1989 at the age of 96, is so complex that one can only begin to comprehend it with repeated listenings.
		Perhaps most striking is how his melodies flawlessly interlock with the accompaniment of his second fiddlers (Sady Courville on some recordings, Ernest Fruge on others) -- and the sheer eclecticism of his rhythmic palette, drawn from a wealth of otherwise-forgotten 19th-century dance music.
