Be interesting to know if it’s just availability, or cost or style?

Some of the nicest one-row so called #Cajun accordions have been custom built in #Louisiana over the years

Not so, larger three-rows, or fully chromatic piano #accordion like Clifton Chénier played that made it possible to mix in blues and R&B to create #zydeco

Early one-row 🪗 couldn’t play #blues easily so it got left out of most Black American music 🤷🏽

#Zydeco is the exception with backstory

🪗 didact: the author of that #bandcamp piece made a couple errors

One row diatonic #accordion can play in more than one key if the keys don’t require the full chromatic scale

The player does become limited beyond a few keys, and has to be more and more skilled to hide the “gaps” in keys the instrument wasn’t built to play easily in

#Louisiana’s French fiddle music lost a lot of tunes that couldn’t be played on one-row accordions

But not all but one key

Il arrive qu’un personnage de fiction devienne la voix d’un peuple entier. Évangéline porte en elle la douleur de la séparation et la lumière de l’espérance. Née d’un poème, elle plonge pourtant dans la réalité du Grand Dérangement. Son histoire traverse les siècles comme un écho persistant. Voici d’où elle vient et pourquoi elle demeure vivante.

O, ouais tout le monde danser
Moi j’ai tant envie de te voir
Allons y, le bon temps rouler"

Chicken and Sausage Gumbo is chock full of chicken, sausage, veggies, & spicy Cajun seasoning into a hearty stew. The hardest part is making the roux, but after it's cooked everything just simmers. #Cajun #MardiGras #GumboLoversUnite #SouthernSoulFood
