    Default KRVS Program Featured by NPR

    Louisiana's Cajun Country is one of the most unique areas of the United States. It's officially called Acadiana, after the French-speaking Acadians who settled there after being exiled from Canada by the British in the 18th century.

    Our monthly series, Acadiana Music Showcase, is produced by our friends at Lafayette, La., affiliate station KRVS, and it explores this vibrant cultural melting pot through music.

    Have they showcased Poisson Rouge? Local, Cajun band made up of UL Alums and current, local band directors. They are the hottest thing going right now.

    KBON does a great job. But they’re not using our students. That’s why I love KRVS. Students get hands on experience.

    My family is friends with Kylie. She's a truly wonderful person.

    Speaking of cULture, PR should be common knowledge to all Cajun fans and current students. They should be contracted, cultural ambassadors to the University of Louisiana.

    Any avenue that can grow the cULture and create ties to UL with the youth should be priority number 1 with Martin Hall.

    Well we kicked the Pine Leaf Boys off campus after they decided to play some music for students.

    That was handled so poorly. Still can't believe that went down like that.
