By the time Tal National reached international acclaim with 2013’s ‘Kaani’, the band’s first release outside of Niger, they had become Niger’s most popular band, with songs constantly blasted on national TV and cell phones everywhere. Following FatCat Records’ release of ‘Kaani’, Western audiences and critics quickly embraced the band’s singular and finely-honed sound. Gearing up for their third album for FatCat, Tal National look back on a fertile period spent honing their sound and touring the US several times – leaving audiences sweaty and stunned time after time. At their core, that’s Tal National’s intent, to make the people dance. With new album ‘Tantabara’ out this month, the band continues their ongoing quest to translate that energy to tape, bottling the party for personal use.

Heya Rob and weekenders.

Composer George Russell's theory of Western music is named after the Lydian mode, yes, though I don't know exactly why - but if you're curious bandleader Bobby Spellman's essay about George Russell's Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization is here: bobspellman.blogspot.com
