Hi all,
Here's a french zydeco song.
Christian Braut is the singer.
Lyrics are about an old man hail from Louisiana.
He is in a french café playing accordion, singing and drinking a lot...

Having performed "Bastille Day" concerts regularly over the last 6 years, I have become accustomed to immersing myself in a range of French musical styles. I particularly like the café accordion.

I cannot express it better than that. wink

Great job, Chris.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Hi, Chris.

That's some salty snap peas...

I mean, some yummy zydeco! laugh

Good to hear some under-represented styles here, especially done so well!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks Brian, David and bloc-head.
The origin of Zydeco music comes from a french song " Les haricots sont pas salés " The snap beans aren't salty !

Oh, this reminds me of walking around ANYWHERE in New Orleans. Such outstanding music coming from every doorway. I once played in a Zydeco band with another BiaB member, Zydecoal (sic). You bring out all of the fun and mystery in the genre so well, Christian. Christian Braut does an excellent vocal, and you provided the perfect band for him. Good write!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Band works well, Christian's vocals fit nicely.

Cool tune. I have no clue what is being said, but it sounds good doing it.

My daughter is living and working in NO currently.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
