Interview with Taj Mahal
I recently had the opportunity to interview Taj Mahal for the Banjo Studio. For as much of an influence as his records have had on me, it was a very special moment.
Banjo Studio says:
Taj Mahal has been one of my favorite musicians since I was a teenager. We were very honored that Taj would take time to speak with us. Initially slated for a short 15-20 minute interview, Taj had a good time speaking with the Banjo Studio Podcast host, Jonathan Freilich, and spoke with him for over an hour!
Listen as Taj talks about his beginnings, how he got started playing the banjo, his approach to the banjo and the way he tunes it, and much more.
If you aren't familiar with Taj Mahal, now is the time to start checking out his very deep catalog of recordings.
If you are interested in Taj’s life and work, the blues, music around the world, and/or the banjo, you will find it fascinating.
