Down Home Cajun Music- Delma Lachney and Blind Uncle Gaspard: Complete Recordings Part One

Down Home Cajun Music- Delma Lachney and Blind Uncle Gaspard: Complete Recordings Part OneOne of the most fascinating duos to record in the early era of Cajun recordings was Delma Lachney and Blind Uncle Gaspard. Their recordings sound out of this world; archaic and raw. Their music is of a earlier tradition of dance and ballad songs that was older than the music we get from the other Cajun music recorded in 1928 and 1929. They were from the Marksville area, which consisted of early colonial French settlers. They recorded two sessions in 1929, before the depression hit. Their music gained interest after "La Danseuse" was included on the highly influential collection from Harry Smith called the Anthology of American Folk Music.
