Quantifying Taj Mahal’s musical significance is impossible but people try anyway. Composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, multi-GRAMMY® winner, multi-Blues Music Award winner, Blues Hall of Fame member and Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement award recipient Mahal is one of the most prominent and influential figures in late 20th Century blues and roots music. Using traditional country blues as a starting base, Mahal perfumes the pot by mixing a spicy concoction of Afrocentric roots music, a blues gumbo kissed by reggae, Latin, R&B, Cajun, Caribbean rhythms, gospel, West African folk, jazz, calypso and Hawaiian slack key. Duo album Get On Board with Ry Cooder won the 2023 GRAMMY® for Best Traditional Blues Album. Latest studio album of reimagined jazz standards Savoy released Spring 2023. New live album Swingin’ Live at the Chuch in Tulsa out now (March 2024).
