Cajun Music
Cajun music represents a mixture of French Acadian traditional music and African strains, sung in Cajun French. It is native to a portion of the southern state of Louisiana, but it has greatly affected blues, rock and modern day country music. Cajun music is infectious. A form of Cajun music sung primarily by black Cajuns is called "Zydeco."
