TalanaBLUis focused on becoming the trend setters for modern day musical fusion between the old and the new. Amalgamating the tribal, ceremonial and cultural influences that Tassa music had had over centuries, with the influences of today's pop culture and music; in turn, creating a piece of history by initiating a new era of rhythms intended to blend today's musical atmosphere, with tomorrows.
