The Carrière Brothers
Fiddle Breakdown Series
This collection pulls together some of the Carrière Brothers coolest tunes, then breaks them down with lots of stylistic suggestions to help you nail that elusive Creole sound.
The Carrière Brothers, steeped in rhythm and dripping with blues, epitomized the sounds of Zydeco’s predecessor, Creole “La-La” music.
Though contemporary Zydeco has largely lost the fiddle as a primary instrument, it was a key piece of the tiny but proud Creole community in Lawtell, Louisiana.
Tunes include: Bluerunner • Blues à Bébé • The Carrière Breakdown • La Robe à Parasol • Les Barres de la Prison • Madame Faille •
Plante dans la porte de ma maison • Ti Canaille • Zydeco de Carrière

Though Cajuns and Creoles are rich in culture, they are historically marginalized and impoverished communities.
Since 2008, Mitch Reed Fiddle Lessons has offered scholarships to students in need, and with the help of patrons from all over the world, has been able to offer free instruction to students who otherwise would not be able to afford lessons or instruments.
If Cajun or Creole music has been like a gift to you, consider paying it forward and helping to keep a culture alive and thriving.
