Maine's Musical Soundscapes is a class about Franco-American music. We learned about the plight of the Franco-Americans and how they lived when they moved to Maine and explored how they tried to preserved their traditions. For a final project, each group was assigned an individual that was highly involved in the Franco-American music scene. This five-minute video is a culmination of our class and research.
