Tambu is the ninth studio album by American rock band Toto.

It is the band's first album to feature Simon Phillips following Jeff Porcaro's death in 1992.

[4][5] AllMusic's review reflected on the album as a major change of direction for Toto, commenting on the anguished and highly vague philosophical lyrics and the focused, bluesy musical style.

They found Steve Lukather's performance as chief lead vocalist of such quality that it was puzzling why he hadn't been given the role earlier, and concluded "You couldn't call the result accomplished, but Tambu suggested that Toto was embarked on a new personal and musical journey that might lead in an interesting direction.

"[6] The Absolute Sound called the album "brilliant" and "near-perfect", saying that it was better than the band's previous works.
