Radio Louisiane is hosted by Cajun French-speaking DJ 'Tee' Mick Abed out of Louisiana who broadcasts contemporary and classic Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco selections on Live365 in mono audio.

The playlist primarily consists of American-style country music sung in French, mainly by artists from Quebec and the neighbouring maritime provinces.

To listen on the station's streaming player, click on "Lecteur haute vitesse" near the upper right hand corner of the site, whereupon a pop-up window will appear on which you can click the start play arrow.

Following the online radio stations listing is the link to the Rendevous Des Cajuns Radio Show, which broadcasts live Cajun and/or Zydeco band performances every Saturday beginning at 18:00 (6:00 PM) Louisiana time. The broadcast is streamed in stereo through Louisiana PBS fm radio station KRVS, which can be accessed by scrolling down to the bottom of the webpage. Click on KRVS, followed by "Listen Online" in the upper right. Then click on "Launch MP3 stream" if you have one or more of the iconed online media players installed on your computer.

Southern Comfort

Below is a great Cajun music scene from the 1981 film Southern Comfort, starring Keith Carradine and Powers Boothe. It was filmed on location in a Louisiana Cajun bayou village. The musicians include popular classic Cajun artists Dewey Balfa on fiddle and vocal, and Marc Savoy on the accordion. (Marc was also the production's Cajun music consultant). The first complete song performed in the scene is "Parlez-Nous a Boire". The second tune is "Jolie Fille".
