Named after a Bambara word meaning "to walk, " Tama consists of Malian vocalist <a href="spotify:artist:5xMaTGRQqjr7dj4YSADneO">Tom Diakite</a>, percussionist Djanuno Dabo of Guinea Bissau and London-based producer/multi-instrumentalist Sam Mills. The trio met when they were playing with the hypnotic Bengali performer <a href="spotify:artist:3FrGYJNQECWcYe2PMFYAgM">Paban Das Baul</a>, with whom Mills had collaborated previously on albums like Real Sugar. Having some extra time at the recording studio led to the group creating impromptu songs that incorporated Diakite's West African musical heritage and Mills' roots in pop, avant-garde and world music, which stretch back to his days in <a href="spotify:artist:2jkVPf0f9H9GVWMzIdxfs0">23 Skidoo</a> in the late '70s and early '80s. The group's debut album Nostalgie was released in 1999 on the RealWorld label. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
