Louisiana’s Cajun Nation is among the most unusual areas of the USA. It is formally referred to as Acadiana, after the French-speaking Acadians who settled there after being exiled from Canada by the British within the 18th century.

Our month-to-month collection, Acadiana Music Showcase, is produced by our pals at Lafayette, La., affiliate station KRVS, and it explores this vibrant cultural melting pot by way of music.

Right now, we’re placing the highlight on Good Prblms. This hip-hop collective (G-Reg, Jinaki, Maudixi and Rick Valentino) consists of scholars and alumni from the College of Louisiana, Lafayette. They met by way of the college’s personal music label, RAGIN’ Data. In the previous couple of years, Good Prblms have made inroads within the metropolis’s zydeco-heavy scene, enjoying reveals regionally and regionally, and even opening for Tank and the Bangas in New Orleans.
