Sometimes the snare line isn't about the snares.

I am #acadian to the core, the language missed me but I sure do love the swamp.

For #TuneTuesday this week, we're sharing #MyFavMusic2024.

P'tit Belliveau, a one-of-a-kind musician from Nova Scotia who sings in Acadian French and English, put out an excellent country/synth-pop/hip-hop/metal album in March. I haven't stopped listening to it all year. This is definitely one of its quieter and prettier tunes.

Since the Congrès Mondial Acadien in August, which I missed, I've been using their schedule of #Acadian #music acts that played to discover music, new to me. https://cma2024.ca/en/program/artists/
In case anyone is interested, I'll make a thread of my favourites so far. These are just the ones that I happen to have looked into, enjoyed, and found some way of purchasing online. More to come, I'm sure, as I slowly make my way through.

Confession: This is my first bowl of grits. Amazing and creamy and you don't want the bowl to end. If you are ever at the Montrose Brown Line, go to Spoken Cafe right under the CTA and order the Acadian Grits. And the coffee is half priced if you get a mug!

Fashioning Acadians is now officially available for preorder! (I'm so excited to see six years of my life finally exist in physical form!)

https://www.mqup.ca/fashioning-acadians-products-9780228018926.php

It's a history of some Nova Scotia #Acadian fashion systems, and also a proposed methodology for extracting social information from material remains - mostly small archaeological finds from domestic manufacture.

"Fashioning Acadians is a history of clothesmaking and dress in Acadia from 1650 to 1750. Through the analysis of four Acadian settlements in what is now Nova Scotia, Hilary Doda uncovers the regional fashions and trends that had begun to emerge prior to the violence of the deportations of 1755. Men’s and women’s wardrobes are described from head to toe, from headdresses and hairstyles down to stockings and shoes, along with accessories such as buttons, buckles, and jewellery."

The book releases October 31st --- pass the word around! #materialculture #dresshistory #atlantic #histodon
