'TITE CANAILLE (Little Scoundrel). Cajun, Two-Step (4/4 time). USA, southwestern Louisiana. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Raymond Francois (1990) explains that the tune has elements of both Cajun and Zydeco music; for example, the accordion is played Zydeco style with many variations on the tune, while the fiddle repeats the tune faithfully. John Semien has one of the very few Black bands that plays Cajun music, he says.
