LES BREAUX FRERES, from Crowley, Louisiana, were three musical brothers, AmÃ©dÃ©e (who played accordion), Clifford (guitar) and Cleopha, known as Ophy (fiddle). Their sister ClÃ©oma, who also played guitar and sang, was married to the finest, most famous accordionist of the era, JOSEPH FALCON, with whom she played and recorded as a duo. This unique compilation is comprised of seriously historic music, featuring some of the earliest Cajun recordings, notably Falcon's 'Lafayette (Allons A Lafayette)', believed to have been the very first Cajun record to be issued, by Columbia, in 1928. 'Ma Blonde Est PartiÃ©', by AmÃ©dÃ©e, Ophy and Cleoma, was the original version of the song that would subsequently evolve into the Cajun anthem, 'Jole Blon', later popularised by Harry Choates. These recordings, from 1928-37, appeared on Columbia, OKeh, Decca, Bluebird and/or Vocalion.
