Cajun Music The Essential Collection

 

Let The Good Times Roll!, January 21, 2007

 

CAJUN MUSIC: The Essential Collection is a wonderful sample for listeners familiar with Cajun and those are new to it. As a point of clarification, Cajun refers to Louisiana descendants of Spanish immigrants via Nova Scotia or Arcadia. Creole, on the other hand, refers to Spanish descendants via the West Indies. There is cultural overlapping including the use of patois, or Americanized French. The selected CD has both English and French songs featuring various artists. Early influences on Country Western can easily be heard in Cajun music.
