Review

The band's name is taken from a Bambara word that means "to walk," but Tama's engaging Afro-pop mix is far more likely to inspire dancing. The group is built around a central trio consisting of Mali's Toumani Diakite on kora (a type of West African harp), English producer/guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Sam Mills, and percussionist Djanuno Dabo, who hails from Guinea-Bissau. The three met when sitting in with Bengali performer Paban Das Baul, and they found one another so immediately sympathetic that they recorded a song together on the spot. On this lively follow-up to their first album, Nostalgie, they continue to blend traditions and fracture barriers. The album is further graced by the young-old voice of Assitan Mama Keita, also from Mali. It also includes a flying visit from Susheela Raman, an emerging star whose South Indian background and polyglot propensities suit Tama's inclusive worldbeat aesthetic to a T. --Christina Roden
