Time again for the summer festivals in France. Jackdiatonique (denizen of mel.net) posted a ton of videos from his travels. Including these three of an impromptu group playing some very Auvergnat bourrées. Note the instrumentation: cabrette, diatonic accordéon, chromatic accordéon, and two banjos! Note also the foot action going on! Great stuff. Thank you, Jack.
Go to Jack’s YouTube to watch the rest.

Thank you Jack and Etienne! One thing I noticed is that because of these and Les Costauds de la Lune (and some archival recordings from the 30s and 40s) I have come to associate banjo with Auvergnat playing!
