Composer, producer, singer and pianist, Allen Toussaint (La., 1934) can, without hesitation, be appointed as a living legend.
His work as composer, producer and performer, especially in the 60s and 70s, helped shape the sound of R & B, soul, and funk as we know it.
Giving a charm and humor to their repertoire, with its seductive rhythms filter indigenous to New Orleans, the city he has always called home.
Toussaint seems to have returned to basics with his latest album The Bright Mississippi.
Surrounded by a group of stars that sound like a band of old friends with producer Joe Henry, pianist, a lover of New Orleans native, reinterpreting classic jazz and rhythm & blues on the album.
More than ten years, an eternity for his followers, passed since the revolutionary black music even released his latest work, but there are many who already say that, although it has become hard to get, the wait has been worthwhile .
The album is a surprise considering that the pianist has a long history as a composer of Rhythm and Blues and if Toussaint recently wrote with Elvis Costello The River in Reverse, has now made this delightful disc, where everything sounds the First blues, early jazz.
Acts tomorrow Sunday 15 November at 20:00 hours in the Nuevo Teatro Circo Cartagena.
Entries, 12 Euros.
