Description
A pillar of the contemporary blues, Taj Mahal was born as Henry St. Claire Fredericks in Harlem in 1942. He named himself after the famous Indian palace because it came to him in a dream. There had to be some explanation for it, because his real name sounds real good. Over the last four decades he has been one of the most important forces in the revival and continuation of the traditional blues, while infusing an amalgam of sounds, from Caribbean to African into the music.
