 Hackberry Ramblers
No doubt the oldest existing Cajun music group, the Hackberry Ramblers were founded in 1930 by fiddler Luderin Darbone, who was born in January 1913 in the town of Evangeline, in Acadia Parish.
By the Great Depression, Darbone was living in Hackberry, in Cameron Parish, where he played music with a neighbor, accordionist and guitarist Edwin Duhon.
As Darbone explained, "He knew Cajun songs and I knew hillbilly tunes" — the resulting hybrid was Cajun string band music, a style also pioneered by Cajun artists like Leo Soileau, Happy Fats, and Doc Guidry.
