Quick answer

Updated

Cajun music is the dance music of the French-speaking Acadian (Cajun) people of south Louisiana. Its core sound is the diatonic (button) accordion and fiddle, with triangle, guitar and bass, played mostly as lively two-steps and waltzes, traditionally sung in Cajun French. Its close cousin zydeco, from Louisiana's Creole communities, adds piano accordion, rubboard (frottoir) and R&B and blues grooves. In Kenerate's Music Studio, name the dance, the instruments and a tempo and get an original Cajun-style track in about a minute. New accounts get 25 free credits.
