Summary
editDescriptionCajun accordion, Louisana, USA, 2009, by Marc Savoy.jpg |
Cajun accordion Eunice, Louisiana, USA, 20098 Marc Savoy, maker Made from rare Louisiana red pine salvaged from a Civil War-era building on Savoy's family farm. The accordion has become a defining element of Cajun music's characteristic sound. Strongly associated with Louisiana, the historical roots of this music are actually much further north. “Cajun” comes from the term “Acadian,” which refers to French immigrant communities in Canada who were exiled by the British and settled in Louisiana in the 18th century. There, Acadian settlers combined their fiddle music with instruments like the accordion, brought to the region by other immigrant groups. We read about the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Trip Advisor - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why! The museum is dedicated to musical instruments from around the world - the collection is fascinating, the exhibits are great and the hands-on displays were fun. We spent almost 5 hours here and still felt rushed - this place is definitely worth a detour. I know nothing about musical instruments so if you happen to know what a particular instrument is, please feel free to comment on it. I tried to include as many labels as possible. The museum is in Phoenix, AZ - we visited it in March 2014. |
