About Bombino
Bombino, the Grammy-nominated Nigerien Tuareg Guitar Hero, was awarded the "Sultan of Shred" by the New York Times for his mastery of Tuareg rock and blues. With a new album forthcoming, featuring new single 'Tazidert', he continues to share his powerful music and positive messages with the world. Bombino has already collaborated with renowned producers like Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys on the album Nomad and David Longstreth of Dirty Projectors on the album Azel. Moreover, he has garnered high praise for his own work, including his 2018 album Deran (Partisan Records).
"Bombino's live show is sensational and reminds me of artists like John Lee Hooker, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Jimmy Reed. With lyrics that reflect the many problems and struggles of his people, he has the potential to be a major force in the future." - Baaba Maal
