Born William Wichman, of an German father and Mindanaoan mother, he underwent a life-changing experience in 1973 when he met Master Kirpal Singh. His deep spiritual change was reflected in his music, which began as golden oldies tunes, but evolved into new age rhythms. Tajalli played in his early days with artists such as Santana, Gordon Lightfood, Paul Horn and Steven Halpern.
Taj kept close ties with his roots in the tropical islands of the southern Philippines. He dreamed of someday returning to his islands, though his music kept him quite busy locally and in his many studio recordings in L.A., including film.He acted and performed the character Red Bear in the independent movie "Buffalo Hearts". Throughout most of his adult life, Taj called the San Francisco Bay Area home. His blend of eclectic music and positive spirit brought cheer to the thousands whom he touched.
Tajalli and Suzanne Doucet have been very close friends since 1983 and have been recording together since. Their album BRILLIANCE was released in 1984,with the critically acclaimed track: Crystal Flight, which was featured in several Visionary Videos. TANTRA ZONE was the follow up release of their collaborations.
Chuck Plaisance has been producing with Suzanne for over 10 years (SOUNDS OF NATURE, TRANQUILITY SERIES)He recorded the Nature Sounds on this CD in Hawaii with his special 3 Dimensional recording system and Suzanne and Chuck coproduced IN THE GARDEN OF THE GODESS with Tajalli at Lake Hollywood Studios. Paradiso (HEALING VIBES and SHAMAN's TRANCE) played his phenomenal Didjeridoo on the track RAINMAKER.
Even in seclusion a flower will bloom Showing its strength, its resilience, its beauty. For it knows that somehow, somewhere, someone Will reflect upon its presence and feel inspired.
The same can be said about your Soul For even though you might feel alone at times Surrounded by immovable objects, or limited by your environment You have within you such immense strength, resilience, and beauty.
Existing within you is everything necessary to move past these obstacles Consider this; God gave such strength, resilience, and beauty to a flower Imagine what he has given you.
Have Faith in yourself And what your being here represents. Allow your Soul to bloom And be the beacon of Light you are meant to be.
An Angel came to visit me today Showing up in her usual way.
First a hush, then a flutter.
I had to catch my breath, Not a word did I mutter.
She told me that you had been reaching out, To find some meaning and remove the doubt.
That you felt you knew your path, but were a little uncertain, As if a vail was in the way, like a wall or curtain.
It was at that time she showed to me, An image so beautiful. So bold. So free.
It was of your Soul. So warm. So bright. That is cast no shadow, into the darkest of night.
As you read this message please understand, There is no vail, or wall, or curtain. You have what you need, with that I am certain. Just close your eyes an let your Love flow free, And see yourself as I have seen you through me.
This video offers a message of truth. That you have within you more then a glow, spark, or a flame. Within your physical form exists that which was placed there upon your arrival here. A Light energy so bright and full of Love, that it can pierce the deepest shadows.
Within this Light, the strength and clarity of The Creators message is evident. You are one of us…You ARE a part of a Spiritual Family With Angels, Spirit Guides, and Blessed Souls as your Kin. With such a great connection, why not call it out and use it? Let it provide you strength, let it guide you; let it comfort you and those around you.
I was thinking this morning of a message to write. One with meanings that would set it apart from the countless others you receive. One that would give you the inspiration and strength to take on the day. One that would help you understand the complexity of others. One that would make you feel important, when you’re feeling insignificant. One that would leave you with a sense of a higher Love.
Then I was reminded. This message you already have. And always have. It lies within you, albeit a little buried at times. It is an ageless message that transcends time. One that has been placed there by our Great Creator.
This message is not clouded within the written word, Nor is it so complex it requires others to explain it to us, It need not be read, spoken, or immortalized with artwork.
This message will hold you in time and yet is timeless, The strength from this message will provide courage when you feel beaten down, The passion provided from this message will lift your Soul, far beyond any limits you have imagined. The knowledge held within this message, provides a level of perception, that helps you connect with everyone and everything.
This message is more then a feeling or a thought, it is an understanding
This message is Gods Love.
Wishing you a week full of peace, Love and spiritual growth.
As I look up I feel the graceful love of the creator fill my spirit, it burns within me and reaches out to all those around. For a fleeting second I toy with the thought of being unique, only to acknowledge with amazing wonderment that all beings carry the creators love within them, and all spirits have the responsibility to guide, protect, and serve each other. For the greatest love of all it not only the one offered by the creator, but also the love that is CREATED through the peaceful, caring and respectful connection with all others.
Many blessings to you my dear friend for a weekend full of Love, Light, and Spiritual Growth,
we are the sages of the ancient awakened moment of now! we are ahimsa, the life message of all great beings- the compassionate oneness that uplifts humanity. in each breath as a deep wish.
we are the love formed, empowered manifestors of this supreme unfolding new moment of oneness.
may peace, abundance and the tranquil divine breath prevail!
This is your "Golden Sheba" as you liked to call me, sending you love and thanking Suz for this beautiful tribute site.
You changed my life first by example, then by music, initiation, and conversation. It was through you that I shook off the past and declared my want for a future and a family. I found my family, and I know that you are with us always...it is no mystery that my son MUST gaze at the moon and stars each night!
Just dropping by to say that in celebration of the rare Ancient Future Guitar-Sitar Jugalbandi show March 31, 2007, at Northern California's Larkspur Cafe Theatre, we have finally added our fourth myspace song: a live version of the song Socha Socha from the Planet Passion CD that was recorded for the Echoes Radio Living Room Concert Series. For a limited time only, we are offering it as a free download. It's not available on iTunes or any other download site, and it will be removed on April 1, so download it while you can. Hope you enjoy this gift to our myspace friends!

Very sorry to hear of your passing in April 2004. That is also when the number one fan of Ancient Future passed, my "commie mommy". She had been threatening to pass for years, and when she finally went it was April Fool's Day...somehow a very fitting day for an atheist to pass. Say hi to her for me. She'll love the irony if there is life after death...

Dude, I haven't seen you since the Renaissance Faire days when we had to cross the fundamentalist Christian picket lines to get into the gig and play music because they were afraid the Pagans would corrupt our souls.
Thanks for connecting and your support of world music! Good to know you are still playing.
