La Touche's album, La Valse De St Martinville Petit Ou La Gros, is a vibrant and energetic collection of Cajun and zydeco tunes that will have listeners tapping their toes and swaying to the beat. The album features a mix of traditional and original songs, all performed with a lively and infectious energy that captures the spirit of Louisiana's vibrant music scene.

Other highlights include "Le Bal De La Touche," a lively zydeco number that will get even the most reluctant dancers up on their feet, and "La Valse De La Louisiane," a hauntingly beautiful waltz that showcases the band's sensitive side.
