luctem Origins: un festin de campagne (7) Origins: un festin de campagne 23 Oct 23


Heard this tune originally from Folkways' Classic Canadian Songs, seen it titled with "le" instead of "un" as well

Doesn't seem to be much info on it (in English at least) .. my French is *okay* at best so I could start digging .. but wondering if anyone here has any more info on origins or knows anything about this one.

Looks to be popular in Quebec but found this video that shows two people singing it at a festival that I have gathered is in France. So based on that I'm assuming there could be lineage

Folkways liner notes don't say too much either: “Le festin de campagne” is an invitation to a boisterous country feast, where passing the flask ensures another song
