Jim Soileau: Rapper?

Mister Jim Soileau LIVE (center) layin down the beats from the old Cajun Smokehouse.

   

                         In this rare clip from the Tasse de Cafe' Radio Program, Mr. Jim Soileau breaks into spontaneous rap about the title of an old conte told to him by his mamere. Although difficult to decipher this archaic Evangeline Parish flow, I think it goes: 
"Ca c'est la danse qu'est longue, et ça c'est l'essence qui brûle.
 (That's that dance that's long and that's the gas (oil?) that burns.) Allons donc, Mister Jim!
