Big Crown Records is proud to present the reissue of this uber rare underground cult classic Running The Mardi Gras by Boco. From the title to the sound to the cryptic lyrics Running The Mardi Gras seems to confirm all the mystique that surrounds the southern Louisiana Bayous and Cajun culture. This record is a family affair. It started one morning when one Mr. Latour, the father of the group, was shaving in the mirror and a song struck him. It was to be about Mardi Gras, not the beaded revelry of New Orleans familiar to most, but the traditions of rural Louisiana, where one would run the Mardi Gras, going house to house getting home cooking from the neighbors. He would sing the song every day in the car and the children of the family soaked up the spirit of the song.
