[@brunolaurent1589]

Lors de notre voyage en Louisiane, en 2018, un grand moment fût la rencontre avec Marc et Sarah, à Eunice, berceau de la Cajun Music. Merci encore 😉.

[@ericrobinson8078]

So good I had to say it twice.....What a really beautiful film.

[@joemc111]

Very nicely put together. I myself can’t play any instrument so I always have a lot of admiration for a musician.

[@rneustel388]

I wish that we would’ve known about the Savoys back in 1989 when we lived around DeRidder, Louisiana. I’d love to have visited their store on a Saturday morning!

[@samhunt9380]

Loved seeing the family and their amazing history. Down here in Australia we don't have much in the way of cajun, but Marc and his family have become embedded in my heart. I love their music and their beautiful outlook on life......

[@enough1494]

I m an Italian American, papa Italian and mother a sweet Cajun Lady from Lafayette! It is the best part of me!

I love that you have kept this music alive. Thank you Marc. I love it. Fantastic.

[@rogermoreau8834]

I played in a Rock Band back in the second half of the 1960s'. Our Band purchased a set of Pearl Drums, microphones and guitars strings from Savoy Music. Marc would loan use a Bass Amp for gigs. I will never forget his kindness.

[@RetreatfarmFarmvilleVirginia]

Waving Hello from Richmond, Virginia.

[@england670]

I found out a lot about this family I did not know until I watched this documentary. Marc is a National treasure, along with Ann. So glad for Joel and Wilson carrying on the Cajun music.

[@danmilner5875]

had the awsome opertunity to see and hear marc and his family at the nova scotia/ cape breton celtic colours... what an amazing show.. pure cajun music , have loved it since. thank you Savoy family.

[@lennartsjostrom3167]

I bought two LPs with Cajun Music a long time ago. One with D. L Menard and one with Link Davis. Great Music.

[@BlindTom61]

These are some really great people and they are central to keeping the Cajun culture alive. I have one of Marks' accordions, one of my proudest possessions.

[@jimmymalone3494]

I love your music And I enjoy it very much.

[@metalfabman5477]

Wonderful, Absolutely Wonderful, thank you for this touching video!! I love the south Cajun music

[@seniorLu48]

I'm Latino and grew up listing to Conjunto (also accordion) music and these Cajun music is so wonderful to listen too; loud and happy. Enjoyed it, my amigo. Great music.

[@AintNoFool]

I absolutely loved this!! I can't sing or play an instrument...

[@bobbybeeman7280]

Thanks for the tears in my eye's. I change from one style of music to another one month rock, country another, all music has life that shares the souls fervor. Opera to yodeling , kiddy to skitty a moody man am I but when I bounce back to Cajun there is always tears in my eyes. Thanks

[@naturlm2221]

Wow, you have summed up music and its meaning to all humanity, so very well. I love it all, opera to country, classical to hip hop...rap...ok mostly, but some rap lyrics to much violence image rage at times, negative for humans ?

[@Nalublu]

So much love! What a family!

[@marcusolson6577]

So amazing to see how the father is so happy and passes on the music to his kids! Such a proud dad and happy family,happy warm people. Would love to have a beer with them and listen to them playing and enjoy what they do the most!

[@seniorLu48]

A great example to us all.

[@patriciajrs46]

​@@seniorLu48For sure.

[@MultiDafydd]

I first heard the Magnolia Sisters at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod many years ago. Their music was brilliant. That was my first introduction to Cajun music the rhythms of which I like very much.

[@northernlite3368]

I have deep acadian roots dating to 1635. Acadian (Cajun) culture is dear to my heart. This music draws tears from me every time I hear it. A very special congratulation to Ann Savoy for being such a true Cajun.

[@lynnglidewell7367]

Family Bands from Bluegrass to Cajun are as wonderful as can be!

[@Vingul]

Beautiful! Long live Marc Savoy.

[@byotin]

Fantastic music ,very beutiful I love it.

[@ClarkGraeme-t4t]

1 minute in. Im hooked!❤

[@twirlyboggs]

Around the 9:20 mark what you speak of I've definitely heard in first person. when I went to buy my acoustic guitar years ago they had three of the same model handmade and the second one I picked up rung out like the angels... fast forward 30 years, just took a break from playing it and saw this video. I love zydeco yall know how to flavor food and make people dance.....some of the most wonderful things in Life~

[@nanoreyes7864]

Awesome family awesome friends awesome people… Love your music!😊❤

[@timcomeau420]

Nicely done. Est bien! I know about all these people and they are the genuine article. Handmade, homemade music from the hearts of generation after generation of the survivors of the Acadian deportation from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island ( aka Isle St. Jean ). This little pocket of old, old, French culture that we call Acadiana, in the southwest corner of Louisiana, where a dialect of French from the 1600's is still spoken, is something all Americans should treasure. Vive L' Acadie!

[@bramblecino]

Absolutely beautiful piece of film. Thank you

[@Bookwolf8014]

Living here in South Australia, I love the Savoy family. God bless you all. Belle toujours

[@sixwingsram]

[@MrsJones-di8lg]

I love your music. I’m glad you are keeping it alive. My roots are French Canadian so similar music.😊❤

[@MarieL10]

So proud to be a descendant of these wonderful people. My dad was from Erath, La. and my aunts lived in Abbeville, La. I would visit them all summer from the age of 3 till I was 16. My parents lived in Texas so this was like going to Disney land for me. Wonderful memories.

[@danielortega4300]

Thank you your music is beautiful and so full of joy and G_ds gift for those who hear it. Shalom

[@johnwalker4642]

[@kathleensteeves488]

[@madogblue]

Great video

[@sheila9893]

Thank y'all loved learning more about your Family ✌️❤️ to y'all

[@hublocker849]

I saw Joel Savoy play at the Vancouver jazz Festival a few years ago and after the show approached him and asked(in English, stupidly ) if he spoke French. He gave me an irritated look, said yes and turned away to talk to someone else. I should have asked in French, I was just star-struck and it came out like that. I've wanted to apologize ever since. My parents were French-Canadian and I grew up bilingual. I have always wanted to speak to someone from Louisiana and never had the chance until then and screwed up. From what I've seen on the 'net, the French spoken in Canada and Louisiana has more similarities than with contemporary European French. Besides, I love Cajun music.

[@raymccranie7872]

I Think The Savoy Family are just Wonderful! I just love Port Arthur Blues. I,d give anything to hear them live. Preferably at Mullates in New Orleans. Cajun music just lifts my Soul. Merci Savoy Family.

[@mavjimbo]

Wow, pretty bonehead maybe you'll get a 2nd chance

[@marshalllyles564]

As a young Louisiana State Trooper in the late '70s, we had a few troopers who could only speak limted English assigned to Cajun parishes. Being from North Louisiana I found interaction with some Cajuns to be temperamental. That was really their nature and harmless. I miss my old Cajun buddies.

[@patriciajrs46]

Go see them at their shop. Apologize and just join the fun. You'll be okay.

[@hublocker849]

I live in a diametrically opposed location on the continent from them.@@patriciajrs46

[@BmoreBusker]

Excellent new video!

[@doncates2954]

Wow, one of the absolute best videos I have seen in years. So much information skillfully presented that it makes you feel like you want jump up and hug the whole family. They all seemed so kind and so much on love with each other and their music. Would love to meet them someday.

[@RL-xb4gz]

This is amazing there talents are endless.I love it

[@flyer1587]

Like the Cajun acordian. In the 40’s producers tried to include acordian in country music. I thought it terrible. Then hearing Cajun style on the old style homer. Loved it

[@richardschneider5793]

The Acadian French were uprooted from their land, now Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, by the English who won the war of the Plaines of Abraham around 1763. The English wanted their land, to be rid of them, and the Acadians were transported, against their will, to Louisiana during those years. They are strong people, held their culture and traditions. I don't know who came out the better for it. Probably the Cajuns. I really enjoy this kind of music.

[@drartpowell]

C’est Bon!
