TAJMO is a once-in-a-lifetime album by two legends of the Blues genre. The album has remained at the top of the charts since it’s release on Concord Records, May 5, and will be one of the best-selling Blues albums of 2017. Their 5-month tour sold out across America and Europe and received outstanding reviews. Now, this 11 song gem, which features the engaging story-telling skills of Mahal and Mo’ melded into down-home blues, Afro-pop, and world melodies, is nominated for the BEST CONTEMPORARY BLUES ALBUM GRAMMY AWARD.
