I agree with leaving the Tapa alone. Some fabrics just do not do well with water based cleaning. I have a feeling that the yellowing from the smoke is embedded in the fibers and cannot be removed. I have done tea dying of some fibrous materials in the past, so not sure if you think in the reverse and want to darken the areas that are light if you could do that. Maybe try dipping a q tip into a cup of dark tean and rub it on a spot on the side.
