Tarriona 'Tank' Ball of Tank & The Bangas

We sat down with Tarriona 'Tank' Ball of Tank & The Bangas for an exclusive conversation about the group’s latest project, The Last Balloon, and the journey that brought them this far. We explored the pivotal moments behind each chapter of the balloon series, reflected on the NPR Tiny Desk performance that propelled the band to global recognition and went beyond the stage to discover the woman behind the artist.We also discussed the group’s upcoming performance at À La Carte at the Zoo on Aug. 22, what fans can expect from the show, and how their New Orleans roots continue to influence their music, storytelling and unmistakable creative spirit.
