Cajun
American root music from the southern state of Louisiana. Striking is that the lyrics are usually sung not in English but in the Louisiana Creole, a language that sounds more like French. The Cajuns are therefore descendants of French migrants who came to Louisiana via Canada. The leading instruments in cajun are the accordion and violin. A triangle determines the rousing rhythm of this raw country music. The black population of Louisiana invented the cajun-like zydeco. In zydeco the washboard is also considered a rhythmic instrument. The combination of cajun and/or zydeco with rock is called swamppop. It is a catchy swinging bastard genre, which has been the most popular music among the Cajuns since the sixties.
