It took decades for the music of our distant "French cousins - long hidden away in the bayous of southern Louisiana - to finally leave its home. It aroused interest with some of the curious and then conquered the USA. Joyful or nostalgic convivial and given rhythm by accordions, these tunes seduced music-lovers worldwide, and today the music is recognised as part of the world's heritage. The highly colourful saga of Cajun is told here by Jean Buzelin, who selected the best recordings of the period.
