On Friday, March 2nd, 2007 at 7PM & 9:30PM, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present an evening with afro-Caribbean blues and Americana singer/ songwriter The TAJ MAHAL Trio.

Describe legendary musician Taj Mahal in a single word or phrase? Not possible.  You could call him a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer producer, ethnomusicologist, two-time Grammy winner, world-class musical collaborator, or musicians’ advocate.  These titles are all accurate, yet none convey the warmth, humor, and soulfulness of Taj and his music.

Taj has been playing his own distinctive brand of music- variously described as Afro-Caribbean blues, folk-world-blues, hula blues, folk-funk, and a host of other hyphenations- for more than 40 years.  Caribbean, Hawaiian, African, Latin, and Cuban sounds and rhythms mix with folk, jazz, zydeco, gospel, rock, pop, soul, and R&B, all layered on top of a solid country blues foundation.  A self-taught musician, Taj plays more than 20 instruments, including the National Steel and Dobro guitars.  His remarkable voice ranges from gruff and gravelly to smooth and sultry.

Tickets for this performance are $37.50 ($28.50 for IMAC Members).  For tickets or further information on this performance, or on other IMAC programs, call IMAC's 24-hour Arts-Line at (631) 549-ARTS.   Tickets can also be purchased at the theater from noon to 6PM, Tuesday through Friday, 2PM to 6PM on Saturdays and after 2PM on the day of the performances.   For further information, call IMAC's business office at (631) 549-9666.
