Louisiana is a state that stays with you. It's a memorable place to visit and live and once you're here you feel right at home. It doesn't hurt that the food is like nowhere else on the planet, or that the music and culture are rich in celebratory traditions that call for annual festivals or a carnival called Mardi Gras.

It's a unique part of the world that's had folks writing and singing about its bayous, swamps, historic cities, and people for centuries. There are at least 100+ songs about Louisiana, in more than 100 styles of music, especially when it comes to Cajan and Zydeco songs.

There are just way too many to list here. However, the songs featured below are a short list if you will, and a mixture of artists that can certainly help you start up an awesome Louisiana Playlist!
