While there's no longer a Cajun/Zydeco award in the Grammy lineup (which we totally disagree with), the artform was well-represented in the new "Regional Roots" category at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday.  And while neither of the Cajun/Zydeco nominees took the award home, a Grammy still came back to Louisiana courtesy of the Rebirth Brass Band.
