Auvergne is a region in France. Its best-known form of folk music is that played on the cabrette (little goat in Auvergnat), a bagpipe made of goatskin. This is used to play swift, 3/8 dance music, slow airs (regrets) and other styles. The traditional master Joseph Rouls taught many modern players, including Dominique Paris, Jean Bona and Michel Esbelin. Other styles of music include the shepherd's calls known as ballero.

Joseph Canteloube was a well-known composer from Auvergne in the early 20th century, and produced a famous collection of folk music called Songs of the Auvergne.

The hurdy gurdy became the basis for bal-musette music, which arrived in Paris by 1880 as a result of Auvergnat migration. The influence of Antoine Bouscatel led to bal-musette incorporating the Italian accordion, which soon came to dominate the music. This is the period that produced internationally known masters like Léon Chanal, Emile Vacher and Martin Cayla. Vacher's light style, rhythmic nature and distinctive tremolo defined the genre for many audiences in France and beyond. During World War I, elements of American jazz became a part of bal-musette. The style also became the basis for a genre called valse musette.
 
   
The valse musette is a blend of folk music from Auvergne and light Parisian music from the 19th century. It matured into its current form during the 1930s under the influence of Italian immigrants. A distinctive jazzy flavor was introduced by Gypsy musicians who had quickly picked up on the new American style. (Django Reinhardt started his career as a banjo player in musette and dance bands.) Guitarists like Boulou and Matelot Ferre, Didi Duprat and Didier Roussin made the Musette accompaniment style a very recognizable one. Accordionists like Gus Viseur instilled a definite swing flavor into the genre. The musette name itself refers to a small bagpipe-like instrument that was played in the center of France, especially in Auvergne ("musette" being the name for a small bag).
  
 
 
This is a scan of an original post card showing the famous Auvergnat bal musette band leader, Martin Cayla. There were many thousands of Auvergne immigrants living in Paris during the 1920s-40s, the period during which his "orchestra" made most of its recordings on it's own label Disques Soleil. Cayla was a highly regarded cabrettaïre and accordéonist.
