Joseph Falcón (September 28, 1900 – November 19, 1965) was an accordion player from southwest Louisiana, best known for producing the first recording of a Cajun song, "Allons à Lafayette," in 1928. He and his wife Cléoma Breaux[1] left for New Orleans to record the first Cajun record and went on to perform across southern Louisiana and Texas.[2]
