Although around the time of its release, the album was little known outside of Louisiana, for many (me included), it’s among the most accessible ports of entry into both Mardi Gras Indian culture and mid-70s New Orleans funk. But make no mistake: Wild Tchouplitoulas is a dance party, not your cultural studies homework. A second Wild Magnolias album, 1975's "They Call Us Wild," boasted such Mardi Gras Indian funk classics as "New Suit" and "We're Gonna Party." A later CD reissue combined both albums and included “Go to the Mardi Gras,” first recorded in 1949, by Roy “Baldhead” Byrd, also known as Professor Longhair. The definitive version was recorded in 1959 for the Ron label. Some say it’s the most popular Carnival record ever made.
