The Carri�re Brothers - Musique Creole

Old Time Louisiana Creole Music, recorded 1974. The Carri�re Brothers have preserved for us a wide ranging repertoire of authentic African-American rural Louisiana Creole musicranging from old marzurkas, polkas and Creole songs to more recent blues, cajun andzydeco numbers. Their music is born out of these sharecropping families who worked from sunup to sundown planting, hoeing and harvesting, and then played music at house parties in the evening, usually earning barely enough to survive.
