African Guitarist Bombino

Raised Omara Moctar in Agadez, Niger, Bombino has quickly matured into a young master of the desert-blues. The singer and guitarist got his start as the protégé of Saharan guitar legend Haja Bebe, and eventually Bombino developed his own robust take on the Tuareg style which pushed him onto the international stage. Bombino’s latest recording, Nomad, came out April 2, 2013 on Nonesuch and was produced by The Black Key's Dan Auerbach.



The pairing makes good sense. Bombino’s style of guitar playing shares some musical kinship or root tenet with Auerbach’s. MORE HERE
