I saw Tamba as Luther Vandross last year and all I can say is wow! I am a Luther fan! I had the pleasure of seeing him live several times. If I closed my eyes I would swear that Luther is still with us!

We saw Tamba when he starred in a musical play about the life of Luther Vandross at Arena Players in Baltimore. Not only was his voice flawless, he truly embodied the spirit of Luther. We were transported.

I knew the talent that Tamba possessed when he was my minister of music at my church, but when I came to Baltimore to see his tribute to Luther when he first started, I was blessed to see and hear His God given extraordinarily talent as a singer and actor on stage! He is also a phenomenal pianist and choir director!
