Tamala
Tamala, whose name means “travelers”, embodies the spirit of exploration, delving into the endless possibilities of blending the kora, violin, harmonica and voice. Guided by a natural musical alchemy, Tamala’s musicians move between tradition and innovation, strength and subtlety, dream and reality, north and south.
Their third album Diboli is a tribute to all the musicians who have contributed to West Africa’s rich musical traditions but whose names have often disappeared throughout history.
