REEL DE CABANO. French-Canadian, Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB'. The title honors the town of Cabano, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada. In 2010 it merged with Notre-Dame-du-Lac to form the new city of Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac. Both strains of "Reel de Cabano" are in 'double-tonic' tonality. Allard researcher Jean Duval believes the melody "no doubt inspired Jean-Paul Filion for his song "La Parenté"[1]. See also Isidore Soucy's related "Pleureuse (La)."
