Following the success of his debut album Dionysus vs. Tamada, Georgian singer-songwriter and producer Tamada has released his second album, 9 Deadly Sins for Tamada.
Tamada, named after the traditional Georgian toastmaster, continues to push the boundaries of electronic music with his distinctive, groundbreaking mix of experimental sounds and cultural influences.
