Disney Congratulates Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Musician Tarriona “Tank” Ball on Her First Grammy Award
To infuse Tiana’s Bayou Adventure with an authentic slice of New Orleans, Disney turned to Tarriona “Tank” Ball of Tank and The Bangas.
As guests travel through the bayou with Tiana and her furry friends, they can hear Ball perform a rendition of “Dig A Little Deeper” from The Princess and the Frog soundtrack. Needless to say, the singer was thrilled to be a part of the attraction.
