Neal Pomea’s cajun music collection is a phenomenal resource for anyone interested in cajun music and its history. Neal’s gathered MP3s of recordings that go all the way back to the 1920s, often recorded off the original 78s. (I just realized that some people have probably never seen a 78…) Artists include Nathan Abshire, Joe Falcon & Cleoma Breaux, Octa Clark, Roy Fusilier, and many more. Take some time and explore the site — there’s a lot of great stuff in there. Here are a few hot tracks to get you started on your Bayou journey:
Joe Falcon & Cleoma Breaux: Fe Fe Poncheaux (MP3 download)
Octa Clark: High Ball (MP3 download)
Angelas LeJeune: Vielle Valse de la Louisiane (MP3 download)
