Of all the people that you can say truly epitomize New Orleans music one near the top would have to be Allen Toussaint. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. This coming Tuesday, February 21 is Fat Tuesday, the big ass party crescendo of Mardi Gras week, and I'm getting a jump on it lest I forget. So, Toussaint night, Sansu Records to be exact. Sansu Records was started by Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn in 1965. There's a sort of a Nothern Soul sort of thing on some, unlike his more syncopated early stuff. It was just moonlighting for Toussaint, who was playing music, writing music and producing in addition to running successive record labels for decades. Dude has a massive discography in every category. Here are a handful on Sansu.
