Au cas où vous n’ayez pas encore eu l’occasion de voir mes invitations à un nouveau groupe qui porte sur l’héritage français d’Amérique du Nord, je vous y invite: L'Acadie et L'Héritage Français aux Etats-Unis.
C’est un sujet qui m’a toujours intéressé car, entre autres, la Lousiane française (et par extension culturelle, le Jazz Américain) doivent une partie importante de leur héritage français et francophone à l’Haïti. En plus, de telles explorations semblent toujours révéler des liens étroits entre l’ascendance française d’Haïti, et de l’Acadie.
En espérant de vous y voir,
A+
