Cajun Country
The Louisianna bayous combine West Indian, native American and hillbilly ingredients into a unique
cultural gumbo. Alan Lomax's Cajun Country investigates Cajun's roots in Western France, visits their cattle
drives, horse races, and barroom dances in rural Louisiana, and listens to the salty tales and raunchy songs
of its black, white, and Indian music-makers.
