The Story
Picture yourself swaying to the irresistible groove of "Cissy Strut," a track that captures the essence of New Orleans funk like no other. The Meters, a legendary collective of sonic sorcerers, emerged from the heart of the Crescent City, bringing together Art Neville on keyboards, Leo Nocentelli on guitar, Ziggy Modeliste on drums, and George Porter on bass. Their infectious rhythms and tight-knit arrangements not only defined their own music from the late '60s to the mid-'70s but also made them sought-after sidemen for icons like Dr. John and Allen Toussaint. With a sound as vibrant as the streets of New Orleans, The Meters remain a cornerstone of funk, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and electrify the dance floors of generations past and present.
