Cajun music is the heartbeat of Louisiana’s French heritage, born from Acadian settlers who blended old French ballads with Native, African, and Creole sounds.

Cajun music was born from the French-speaking Acadians who were expelled from Nova Scotia in the mid-1700s and resettled in southern Louisiana. They carried with them old French folk songs and ballads that eventually blended with Native American, African, German, Irish, and Anglo-American influences. By the 19th century, the diatonic accordion joined the fiddle as the heart of Cajun bands, alongside the rhythmic triangle. The first Cajun song ever recorded was “Allons à Lafayette” by Joe Falcon
