* Free Folklife Lecture: Caffery on Louisiana Music  12:00 noon - 1:00 pm in the Mary Pickford Theater,
3rd Floor, James Madison Building, Library of Congress

Traditional Music of Coastal Louisiana: The 1934 Lomax Recordings, presented by Joshua Caffery, Alan Lomax Fellow in Folklife Studies, Kluge Center, Library of Congress...

This talk examines the songs recorded in the summer of 1934 by John Lomax, with assistance from his son Alan, who was then a teenager. While the music they recorded there has often been described as Cajun or Creole music, what they actually found was much more complex: a diverse admixture of old medieval songs, Continental pop songs, blues ballads, round dance songs, traditional ballads in French, a Scottish jig, and much more. This talk coincides with the release of the book Traditional Music in Coastal Louisiana, a study of the 1934 trip.
