2. Taj Mahal & Shemekia Copeland

With two Grammys, more than 25 albums and five decades of sterling performances behind him, Taj Mahal is one of the most influential figures in late-20th century blues and roots music. Grounded in American pre-war blues but incorporating world sounds, from West Africa to Latin America and the Caribbean, Mahal’s unmistakable and thrillingly eclectic musical fusions inspired a whole generation of performers and revitalized a dying art form. The golden-voiced singer and multi-instrumentalist appears with Taj Mahal Trio and special guest, “sizzling hot” vocalist Shemekia Copeland (Boston Globe).
