Taj Mahal celebrates four decades of blues, roots, reggae and beyond. Maestro includes guest appearances by Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Angelique Kidjo, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley and more. Composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Taj Mahal is one of the most prominent and influential figures in the late 20th century blues and roots music. Though his career began more than four decades ago with American blues, he has broadened his artistic scope over the years to include music representing virtually every corner of the world – west Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, the Hawaiian islands and so much more. What ties it all together is his insatiable interest in musical discovery.
