About This Song
About "J'ai Eté au Bal (I Went to the Dance)" by Dewey Balfa
Dewey Balfa's 'J'ai Eté au Bal' is a Cajun waltz that swings with bittersweet joy. Fiddle and accordion conjure a crowded dance floor, where pleasure and sorrow share the same step. The song's charm lies in its embrace of fleeting moments, danced under a green oak's shade.
