About this Product
The Southwest Louisiana Music Map is a tribute to the music and musicians of the region of the Bayou State which produced some of America's most joyous and heartfelt music - Cajun, zydeco, Creole/la la and swamp pop. This latest edition adds more than 100 musicians to the previous edition.
The map documents the birthplaces of more than 900 native musicians hailing from the Atchafalaya Basin to just beyond Lake Charles. It also features illustrated portraits of 19 highly influential musicians who made a major impact on the music such as Amédé Ardoin, Joe Falcon, Cléoma Breaux Falcon, Iry LeJeune, Clifton Chenier and Nathan Abshire.
