‘14 Years Ago’ – Cajun Music in Denmarkby Rob Howard |
 The Accordions Worldwide news for November 27th 1998 announced that the KDN Cajun Band, whose members were Danish, would be doing their next gig on December 3rd somewhere in Denmark. Music is often said to be an international language, and that point is demonstrated by a group of Danes playing Cajun style, a music for a long time regarded purely as a regional genre. The world is becoming a smaller place! SWINGING CAJUN MUSIC - DENMARK Contributed by Kresten Storgaard On December 3rd the KDN Cajun Band will perform at the ‘Sletten Kro’ (Kro is Danish for inn) in Sletten. The 5 piece band includes accordionist and vocalist Karen Munkholm. They perform stirring Louisiana Cajun rhythms at music spots in and around Copenhagen as well as at festivals such as Toender and Vordingborg. Band members have made several trips to Louisiana, USA, attending work-shops with Cajun musicians in Lafayette. |
