Mademoiselle, Voulez-Vous Danser?: Franco-American Music from the New England Borderlands

Various Artists

Sparkling fiddles, strong voices, and pounding feet join together in this compilation of lively dance tunes and poignant songs—the musical legacy of French-Canadians who immigrated to New England and became Franco-Americans. Recorded between the years of 1994-1998 at informal gatherings, at songfests and in small studios in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and eastern New York, the music reveals the creativity and continuity in this unique regional tradition today. 57 minutes, 28 page booklet, map, and photos.
