I thought Cajun music was done by French Canadians. All Acordians and
that!

Personally, I like the music for the Smithwicks "Heart of the night"
series of ads. It's the only ad that I pump up the volume & get into the groove
for.

I like the music from the Kronenbourg ad - the "I still can't pass
those goalposts" one. Also, I like Kronenbourg.

Cajun - which is a contraction of the word Arcadian - refers to the
music and people of french speaking areas in Louisiana.
I believe the Balfa Brothers come from Louisiana.
There is much cajun music available on record these days - some of you
may also have seen the film Southern Comfort about a bunch of home
guard soldiers in the Lousisiana swamps. Ry Cooder did the music which
apart from his slide guitar featured cajun string band music.
A cajun fiddler called Harry Choates made a record called Jolie Blon
which is the cajun anthem, back in 1940 something and it is still
available on the catalogue!!
Andy Kershaw is heavily in to cajun as well.
