The idea to create our band came up from a need to realize our music and cultural fascinations and to share them with audience. Long time ago, we found out, that each of us has interest in different type of sound. The reason is that we are possessing completely different artistic backgrounds, different genes and temper.
That is the clue of our multicultural music style. When we are asked: what kind of music do you play? We answer: we play music from every region of the world which has beauty and class. We add some city music, jazz, house or classical music and lyrics referring to the issues we think about. In our music you can find our joy of free artistic voyages.

The idea to record this album was born in 2003. Piotr Jackson Wolski percussionist, fascinated in different cultures is the initiator of this project. His meeting with Senegal vocalist Mamadou Diouf, oboist Tytus Wojnowicz, guitarist Grzegorz Sorbiani, bassist Leszek Biolik and live electronic musician Andrzej Kasprzyk brought alive the album Sunu Music - Nasza Muzyka real explosive mixture of different cultures and genres.Nearby is another worldTam Tam Projects music can not be described as artificial or secondary. We can not either call it ethnic. African rhythms, Arabic or Romanian melodies are background for jazz improvisation. Do not be surprised, if you hear any theme from classical music.The Artists performing in Tam Tam Project excellently put together those remote worlds into amazing whole. We can find in their music modern, trans genres. Piotr Jackson Wolski is against any classifications or marking music. He considers his creative activity open, unlimited with any borders and unpredictable thanks to the lack of stylistic barriers. In such an activity, artists from different cultural circles can proceed their way. According to Piotr Jackson Wolski music is just one part of albums message. Equally important is the lyrics sung and spoken in four languages: Wolof, Polish, French and Romani.While working on the project a new uncommon fusion of image and music was initiated. The album became a presentation ofr new works of Tomasz Setowski [www.setowski.com] Polish painter achieving many successes in the country and (especially) abroad. Setowski got fascinated by the idea of Piotr Jacknon Wolski and for the first time decided to publish his arts on a CD and embellish with Tam Tam Projects music his exhibitions. It is possible that such exhibitions will be organized in Poland too. In any case, we can find electronic versions of Setowski canvas on the album alongside with music. Setowski paintings and Wolski music and lyrics (often with long story) create absolutly perfect unity.In search of yourself Piotr Jackson Wolski loves telling stories from his journeys. Each story is a search of new values, not only in melodies and rhythm, but also deep inside peoples sensitivity for art and beauty. The album is a seeking of real feelings. Thanks to it maybe some people will find what they are really expecting from music. Certainly, the album is not next release, that comes out every day in the phonographic market.The albums is under the honor auspices of Representative of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Mr. Jaime Ruiz de Santiago.Tam Tam Project band promotes respect for different cultures, dialogue and tolerance for years.More information www.tamtammusic.pl
