about

Rated a five-star “indispensable” album in the 1979 edition of The Rolling Stone Record Guide (later renamed The Rolling Stone Album Guide), Clifton Chenier and his Red Hot Louisiana Band present a baker’s dozen assortment of Zydeco dance music. Recorded in Bogalusa, Louisiana, many of the tracks were laid down in a single take and segue from shuffles and waltzes to traditional two-steps and rock ‘n’ roll. In 2016, the Library of Congress deemed Bogalusa Boogie to be "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

Afrique Victime
by Mdou Moctar

supported by 4 fans who also own “Bogalusa Boogie”

Very happy a colleague recommended Mdou Moctar to me after I discovered & fell in love with Tinariwen and this new (to me) desert blues sound! Mdou Moctar inject more of a psychedelic sensibility into their music rather than Tinariwen's drone, making it flavorfully distinctive, while still carrying that shining, twanging, sun-drenched sound we all love about Saharan desert rock. Love the grooving rhythms and the alternately snappy clean or drowned-in-effects guitar melodies. Excellent work! pinkytheent
