The Cajun French Music Association of Louisiana, Inc., is a non-profit (501-C3) organization comprised of musicians and non-musicians of Cajun and non-Cajuns whose sole purpose is to promote and preserve Cajun music and culture wherever possible.
The CFMA was founded and chartered in November 1984 by Harry LaFleur of Eunice, Louisiana. Since its' beginning with a handful of people, chapters have been established in the cities of Eunice, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Lake Charles, Houma, Lafayette, and New Iberia, Louisiana, as well as Gulf Coast, Houston, and San Antonio, Texas. Associate chapters are in the process of being formed in other states as well.
The Lake Charles Chapter was chartered on September 28, 1987.
We are proud to say that we have built our CFMA Building located at 3481 East Prien Lake Road, in Lake Charles. This facility is still in the process of being completed as funds are available. Right now we are focusing on raising the necessary funds to pave the parking area, cover the building with siding, and putting in landscaping to be in compliance with City requirements. We are very proud of what we have accomplished thus far and look forward to completion of this facility as our CAJUN FRENCH MUSIC ASSOCIATION home, HALL OF FAME, and Cajun Museum. If you would like to make a donation to help complete this very worthy project, you may contact any person on the Executive Board or Board of Directors. For further information, please contact Robert Hebert, Building Chairman, at 337-598-4149.
