Taj Mahal - Böcker

Over the course of a remarkable sixty-year career, Taj Mahal has forged his own path, embracing a bold musical hybridity that fuses West African and Caribbean sounds with Delta blues, jazz, gospel and rock ’n’ roll. In retracing his ancestral roots, Taj has remapped the foundational influences of popular music and reimagined the possibilities of a truly ‘global’ sound.In this, the updated and remastered edition of his memoir, Taj steps out from the shadows, revealing parts of himself previously unseen. From collaborations with legends like John Lee Hooker, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bonnie Raitt, and Bob Marley, to musical adventures spanning Santa Monica, Kaua’i and even tours through African war zones, he recounts a life lived in fearless pursuit of his passions and creative calling. The result is an astonishing – and above all, honest – account of the life of a bluesman.
