Cajun music for the soul

This installment of Francophiliacs features the Louisiana Skipper from the Lunch Bunch Blues, who stuck around after this noontime show to chat about cajun and zydeco. Besides introducing us to some of his favorite artists and tracks, he also explains a great deal about the history and culture of these American-born francophone genres. What's the difference between cajun and zydeco, what's a loup-garou, and how the heck did those French-speakers get down to Louisiana?! This foot-stompin' one-hour special gets topped off with some of our favorite tracks from southern France, the Maghreb and western Africa.
