VARIOUS ARTIST - MARDI GRAS ESSENTIALS


VARIOUS ARTIST - MARDI GRAS ESSENTIALS
Various: Mardi Gras Essentials Call it Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday or Carnival - by whatever name, it's a party with an unmistakable beat. To be precise, it's the second-line beat - the same rhythm that propels New Orleans brass bands. Music takes over New Orleans at Mardi Gras. From every jukebox, every radio, every passing automobile or open window come the familiar sounds of a handful of records that over the years have become Mardi Gras classics. The 18 tracks on this compilation give you a definitive sample of the range and variety of the Mardi Gras sound. They represent what we think is some of the best the season has to offer. Part of Hip-O’s ever-growing Essentials series, featuring vital primers of Zydeco, Rockabilly, Jazz Vocals, Late Night Jazz, Electropop, Bluegrass, Electro-Funk, Dance, Country Swing and Jump Blues.
