Gaby Haas and his Barndance Gang

From the Canadian Encyclopedia: Haas, who was given the appellation ‘Canada’s Mr. Polka’ (and latterly shared it with Walter Ostanek), began recording in 1950 with his band, The Barndance Gang and made over 50 albums and 60 singles, mostly of polkas and waltzes, many his own pieces, for the Apex, Point, London, Quality, and Royalty companies.

    Neither I heard about him, but it does not matter. I am surprised that Polka is known still in other countries than here in Finland. People dance Polka here and I have a collection of Polka music.

    Thank You for this post.

      There are many countries where polka is still played. It is not so much in fashion here. I really like Finnish polka music a lot! Thanks for your comment.
