Cajun

Member of a French-speaking community of Louisiana, USA, descended from French Canadians. In the 18th century these people were driven to Louisiana from Nova Scotia (then known as Acadia, from which the name Cajun comes). The modern Cajun people are known for their music, which has a lively rhythm and features steel guitar, fiddle, and accordion, and for their spicy cuisine.
