By now you are familiar with France and its regions, but did you know that there is a French-speaking region in one of Texas's neighboring states? In Central and Southern Louisiana, there are in fact two main groups of French speakers. The following song, Ma Louisianne, focuses on the Cajun people.
Zachary Richard is one of the best-known Cajun musicians of all time. In addition to his music, he has published books of poetry; and he directed a documentary about the history of the Cajun people called Against the Tide.
