Mumtaz Mahal

Taj Mahal

A hypnotic collaboration where Mississippi Delta blues meets Indian classical music. Acoustic slide guitar and veena weave together in a warm, meditative haze.

It's what happens when the Delta blues takes a long, meditative trip to India.

A profound, cross-continental meditation that finds the common soul between the blues and the raga.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The eleven-minute expansion of Come On In My Kitchen where the slide guitar and veena trade microtonal phrases.
The rhythmic lock between the tabla and Taj's fingerpicking on Rolling on the Sea.
The final track Curry and Quartertones which strips away the blues structure for pure improvisational exploration.
