Cajun music is a type of American folk music that originated in Louisiana, specifically in the southwest of the state. It is a blend of French, Acadian, Creole, African, and American music. It is usually performed with both a violin (known locally as a "fiddle") and an accordion, and is accompanied by a guitar, bass, and percussion. Cajun music gained popularity through French-Acadian immigrants from Canada who settled in Louisiana in the 18th century. It has become an integral part of Louisiana's culture and has been influenced by many different cultures. Today, Cajun music is played in folk music clubs and festivals across the United States and is listened to by fans of all ages.
