Bombino

Tuareg guitarist and songwriter Omara 'Bombino' Moctar, was born in 1980 at a nomadic camp near the dusty outpost of Agadez and was raised during an era of armed struggles for Tuareg independence. Bombino's electrifying jams capture the spirit of resistance and rebellion while echoing with guitar riffs reminiscent of fellow Africans Tinariwen and Ali Farka Touré not to mention Jimi Hendrix, and John Lee Hooker.
