Louisiana Folk Masters: Varise Conner CD

Varise Conner (1906-1994) has been called the “greatest unrecorded Cajun musician.” With this ground-breaking 72-minute collection of previously unavailable songs and stories we now have an opportunity to hear masterful renditions of waltzes, two-steps, blues, a mazurka, a polka and even “Lake Arthur Stomp” as performed by its originator in his own home. The source recordings for this project were made between 1975 and 1977.

Louisiana Crossroads is an economic development initiative of the Acadiana Arts Council and the Lafayette Economic Development Authority. Over the years we have worked with our many partners to assist artists, individuals, businesses and non-profits in our region in their efforts to further develop our region's cultural economy infrastructure.

We are working to develop a mini-resource library in this section of our site in an effort to further link our artists and sponsors with new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
