Some island fiddling from the Indian Ocean
\n\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

From a record of field recordings from Seychelles Islands, Danses et Romances de l’Ancienne France<\/em>, from the great series of field recordings on the Ocora label from Radio France. The inhabitants of the Seychelles are a Creole people, whose culture has roots in Europe, Africa and Madagascar. A map locating the Seychelles and a short description of the music and the band can be found by clicking this link to a pdf<\/a>, testimony from England.<\/p>\n

The tune given here is a tropical rendition of a 19th-century social dance in 3\/4, the mazurka, that originated in Europe. The distinctive Kamtole band sound of the Seychelles was used for dances, especially to celebrate Christian weddings. In the word of one anonymous internet author: “There was a time when Seychellois married couples came out of the church with their guests and they all left in a procession with musicians- two fiddles, a guitarist, an accordion, a drummer and a triangle.”<\/p>\n
