Her Wikipedia article is very small but luckily there's Discogs with a lot of work this lady has been doing until now. I thought of her again when I listened to Opolopo's album "Superconductor" a while ago, which also features her; the release is from 2015. Taka Boom has been collaborating a lot with house producers throughout the years. First I came across her name on P-Funk albums when I could have sworn it was Chaka but it said "Taka", so I started googling... One of the songs I knew but I didn't know it was her; alto sax solo by Gary Bartz.
This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel.
