Breaux Freres- Cleoma & Joe Falcon - Vas Y Carrement (CD)

LES BREAUX FRÈRES, from Crowley, Louisiana, were three musical brothers, Amédée (who played accordion), Clifford (guitar) and Cleopha, known as Ophy (fiddle). Their sister Cléoma, who also played guitar and sang, was married to the finest, most famous accordionist of the era, JOSEPH FALCON, with whom she played and recorded as a duo. This unique compilation is comprised of seriously historic music, featuring some of the earliest Cajun recordings, notably Falcon's 'Lafayette (Allons A Lafayette)', believed to have been the very first Cajun record to be issued, by Columbia, in 1928. 'Ma Blonde Est Partié', by Amédée, Ophy and Cleoma, was the original version of the song that would subsequently evolve into the Cajun anthem, 'Jole Blon', later popularised by Harry Choates. These recordings, from 1928-37, appeared on Columbia, OKeh, Decca, Bluebird and/or Vocalion.
