« The savoy ‘s family » au grand complet, j’adore ces musiciens et leur musique La visite de l’atelier est un moment exceptionnel Un grand merci à vous Savoy => savoyard = habitant de la Savoie (France)
I saw Joel Savoy play at the Vancouver jazz Festival a few years ago and after the show approached him and asked(in English, stupidly ) if he spoke French. He gave me an irritated look, said yes and turned away to talk to someone else. I should have asked in French, I was just star-struck and it came out like that. I've wanted to apologize ever since. My parents were French-Canadian and I grew up bilingual. I have always wanted to speak to someone from Louisiana and never had the chance until then and screwed up. From what I've seen on the 'net, the French spoken in Canada and Louisiana has more similarities than with contemporary European French. Besides, I love Cajun music.
I Think The Savoy Family are just Wonderful! I just love Port Arthur Blues. I,d give anything to hear them live. Preferably at Mullates in New Orleans. Cajun music just lifts my Soul. Merci Savoy Family.
As a young Louisiana State Trooper in the late '70s, we had a few troopers who could only speak limted English assigned to Cajun parishes. Being from North Louisiana I found interaction with some Cajuns to be temperamental. That was really their nature and harmless. I miss my old Cajun buddies.
Nicely done. Est bien! I know about all these people and they are the genuine article. Handmade, homemade music from the hearts of generation after generation of the survivors of the Acadian deportation from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island ( aka Isle St. Jean ). This little pocket of old, old, French culture that we call Acadiana, in the southwest corner of Louisiana, where a dialect of French from the 1600's is still spoken, is something all Americans should treasure. Vive L' Acadie!
I found out a lot about this family I did not know until I watched this documentary. Marc is a National treasure, along with Ann. So glad for Joel and Wilson carrying on the Cajun music.
I played in a Rock Band back in the second half of the 1960s'. Our Band purchased a set of Pearl Drums, microphones and guitars strings from Savoy Music. Marc would loan use a Bass Amp for gigs. I will never forget his kindness.
These are some really great people and they are central to keeping the Cajun culture alive. I have one of Marks' accordions, one of my proudest possessions.
Loved seeing the family and their amazing history. Down here in Australia we don't have much in the way of cajun, but Marc and his family have become embedded in my heart. I love their music and their beautiful outlook on life......
Wow, one of the absolute best videos I have seen in years. So much information skillfully presented that it makes you feel like you want jump up and hug the whole family. They all seemed so kind and so much on love with each other and their music. Would love to meet them someday.
I have deep acadian roots dating to 1635. Acadian (Cajun) culture is dear to my heart. This music draws tears from me every time I hear it. A very special congratulation to Ann Savoy for being such a true Cajun.
So proud to be a descendant of these wonderful people. My dad was from Erath, La. and my aunts lived in Abbeville, La. I would visit them all summer from the age of 3 till I was 16. My parents lived in Texas so this was like going to Disney land for me. Wonderful memories.
Thanks for the tears in my eye's. I change from one style of music to another one month rock, country another, all music has life that shares the souls fervor. Opera to yodeling , kiddy to skitty a moody man am I but when I bounce back to Cajun there is always tears in my eyes. Thanks
Wow, you have summed up music and its meaning to all humanity, so very well. I love it all, opera to country, classical to hip hop...rap...ok mostly, but some rap lyrics to much violence image rage at times, negative for humans ?
I first heard the Magnolia Sisters at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod many years ago. Their music was brilliant. That was my first introduction to Cajun music the rhythms of which I like very much.
Around the 9:20 mark what you speak of I've definitely heard in first person. when I went to buy my acoustic guitar years ago they had three of the same model handmade and the second one I picked up rung out like the angels... fast forward 30 years, just took a break from playing it and saw this video. I love zydeco yall know how to flavor food and make people dance.....some of the most wonderful things in Life~
I'm Latino and grew up listing to Conjunto (also accordion) music and these Cajun music is so wonderful to listen too; loud and happy. Enjoyed it, my amigo. Great music.
Thank you for your wonderful video history of a great cajun family and friends. I really enjoyed seeing your history and appreciate your music....all of you are a real treasure to Louisiana. All the best for the future......An Albertan
So amazing to see how the father is so happy and passes on the music to his kids! Such a proud dad and happy family,happy warm people. Would love to have a beer with them and listen to them playing and enjoy what they do the most!
Like the Cajun acordian. In the 40’s producers tried to include acordian in country music. I thought it terrible. Then hearing Cajun style on the old style homer. Loved it
I was lucky enough to meet this man this myth the legend of cajun culture and humble human being at that he politely declined our ask for an autograph and after a brief conversation told us "the world is better place with young men like us" this man is a grandfather to any and all young Cajuns trying to cling onto their culture
