Rois & Reines (& Jeanne d’Arc). Hier soir, notre cofondateur Scott Tilton a été couronné roi du Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc. Chaque année, l’épiphanie (6 janvier) marque le début de la saison du carnaval et le Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc ouvre les festivités avec une somptueuse parade à travers le Vieux Carré.

Kings & Queens (& Joan of Arc). Last night, our cofounder Scott Tilton was crowned King of the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc. Each year, Twelfth Night (January 6) marks the beginning of Mardi Gras season and the Krewe of Jeanne d’Arc opens the season in style with a sumptuous parade in the Vieux Carré.

Nous avons eu l’honneur de poursuivre nos recherches à la Bibliothèque du Congrès dans le cadre de notre projet Musique(s). Avec le soutien du American Folklife Center, nous avons pu consulter de nombreuses archives, notamment les enregistrements effectués par John Lomax dans les années 1930.

We had the honor to conduct research at the Library of Congress for our Musique(s) project. With the support of the American Folklife Center, we went through numerous archives, including amazing recordings conducted by John Lomax in the 1930s. See y’all this spring for the release of Musique(s).

Really interesting to see the mix of LC and English, and how English seems to be used for humorous effects in the song. Also, shout out to Patoutville and Jeanerette. (English translation below)

Bonjour DC! Our team is at the Library of Congress doing research for our project on Louisiana music. Check out this blues song, ‘Un té pas gain de l’air’, recorded in 1934 by John Lomax and sung by Edier Segura in Louisiana Creole (Kouri-vini).
