description | <p>In May 1971, after having completed<br />my first year at the Universite de<br />Moncton, I came back to Abram's<br />Village for the summer. I returned<br />home with a project in mind that had<br />developed during the year from readings<br />and contacts I had made: I wanted<br />to search for and record Acadian folksongs.<br />I knew very little about the folksong<br />tradition in my own community,<br />but I felt sure that I would find at least<br />some remnants of the old French<br />songs.<br />I began my field research by visiting<br />a few neighbours. To my great<br />astonishment, I had stumbled on a veritable<br />gold mine. That project turned<br />out to be the starting point of a long<br />and fascinating voyage of discovery<br />that led me to many Acadian traditional<br />singers across the Island. Over the<br />past 20 years, I have been able to<br />record hundreds of their songs.</p> | |
