This 10 CD box set contains some of the most legendary artists of the Cajun & Zydeco genre, classic artists like Clifton Chenier, Angelas LeJeune, Mayuse Lafleur, Amédée Adoin, Iry LeJeune and Cleoma Breaux Falcon but also many one-hit wonders. New Orleans, the Mississippi Delta and Louisiana are considered to be the origins of Blues and Jazz but it wasn’t until the sixties, that the world took notice of another strand of music from the area -Cajun and Zydeco music. Originally imported by French-born settlers, the Cajuns, played on fiddles, supported by various percussion instruments, such as washboards and later incorporated African-American musical influences to become Zydeco.
