I first saw Tamar Kali at H=Joe's Pub when Nona Nyndrex presented an evening featuring black female musicians , Nona intro' Tamar Kali .as the composer of the soundtrack for the Academy Award nominated film MUDBOUND. The spotlight came up on a black woman seemingly 7" tall dressed all in black holding a white guitar in her hands, Tamar Kali radiated pride , talent and self-empowerment, She stood like a statue of liberty that the US could sent to France as representative of the Democracy called the United States. Tamar is multi-talented and well know among adult black women I learned from the women seated next to me in the audience.This ensemble sag at Michael Jackson's funeral . At Joe's pub I heard a harder version of black rock and felt as if she was channelling both Sister Rosetta Tharp and  a rocked out Tina meets Leontyne Price exuberance,  Here is just a peek from the set's closing number ,,it was the one time the rain shut my camera down . I am searching for a live stream or video taping to share .. It was as if the spirit of Mahalia Jackson tinctured the spiritual presence of a contemporary female driven sacred ensemble,, Tamar has music on youtube and an album
