The music of Louisiana can be divided into three general regions: rural south Louisiana (home to Cajun Zydeco and other musical forms also known as Acadiana) New Orleans and north Louisiana. The region in and around Greater New Orleans has a unique musical heritage tied to Dixieland jazz blues and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. The northern portion of the state starting at Baton Rouge and reaching Shreveport shares the similarities with the rest of the US South.
