Gulf Coastal Plains

In New Orleans, the Cajun lifestyle is very prominent. It's a way of life that consists of amazing seafood and lively music, usually featuring the accordion and fiddle. The Cajun cuisine has become my personal favorite part of the city of New Orleans. This usually consists of foods such as lobster, crawfish, crab, gumbo, and of course, adding in some spicy peppers! The crawfish were originally fished and trapped in the Gulf of Mexico but have now become locally grown in man-made ponds. 


Cajun music has stemmed from the French-Canadians and has drastically influenced popular music in New Orleans. Even today, many say that country music is linked back to the sounds of Cajun music as they both consist of string instruments yet Cajun music usually doesn't contain much singing.
