| | TERRIOT ACADIAN FAMILY: Acadian, Cajun music |
 | | The musical compositions are typically simple and melodic, and are oriented to different moods (rest, contemplation, love, grieving, working or happiness) and different purposes (e.g., putting a child to sleep, expression of love, recounting history, giving advice, something to do while working). |
 | | The reels, jigs, quadrilles, two-step and waltzes typically have inviting tempos which are difficult to resist. |
 | | This reel whose name was previously unknown has been identified by Gisèle from New Brunswick, Canada.She said that a man by the name of Winston Crawford taught her that tune. |
