Allons à Lafayette – Cajun Music on Harmonica

🎵 Allons à Lafayette – Cajun Harmonica A little trip to Louisiana! 🪗 In this video, I’m playing the traditional Cajun song “Allons à Lafayette” on the diatonic harmonica. I play the melody almost entirely with splits – octave splits, fifth splits and sixth splits. These intervals give the harmonica a fuller, richer sound and help me get a little closer to the characteristic sound of the Cajun accordion. It’s a great example of how tongue blocking can turn the small diatonic harmonica into a surprisingly full-sounding instrument. 🎶 Techniques used: • Tongue Blocking • Octave Splits • Fifth Splits • Sixth Splits • Cajun-style phrasing 🎵 Harmonica & Key: • Harmonica: SEYDEL Lightning • G diatonic harmonica / blues harp • 2nd Position • Key: D Major 📖 Learn diatonic harmonica with my book: Harmonica for Beginners – Play Now · Build Skills · Master Harmonica Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/3982307848 If you enjoy harmonica music, tutorials and traditional songs from around the world, feel free to subscribe to the channel. 👍 If you enjoyed the video, I’d be happy about a like or comment! #Harmonica #Cajun #CajunMusic #AllonsALafayette #DiatonicHarmonica #BluesHarp #TongueBlocking #HarmonicaMusic
