Title: Great introduction to Cajun music
Product review: For someone like me who was completely new to Cajun music, this album was a fascinating introduction. The songs transport you to earlier, more francophone times: most go back to the early 20th century, but one even harks back to Napoleonic days. Perhaps the line that best sums up the atmosphere of the album is: "Chauffer un gregue de café, gouter et causer en franais" ("Warm up a pot of coffee, sip it and chat in French", according to the liner notes). "L'écho" is a great collection of mellow tunes, and sound testimony, if you spare the pun, of the Cajuns' determination to maintain their French Creole culture.
