BombinoNER
Tuareg mesmeric desert blues
The hypnotic desert blues of Bombino captures both the vastness of the desert and the energy of psychedelia and American roots music. Long before the masterful guitarist and vocalist released his first album, his extraordinary talent was recognized by Rolling Stone, which acknowledged him early on. Shaped by his nomadic Tuareg roots, Bombino traveled the world, recording albums in the most diverse settings, from the dusty streets of Agadez to legendary studios in Nashville, New York, and Morocco.
With albums like Nomad and Deran, Bombino solidified his reputation as one of the most captivating guitarists of his generation. Deran even earned him a Grammy nomination in 2019, a first for a Tuareg artist. Yet, for Bombino, it’s about more than just success. Through his music, he aims to share love, understanding, and the enchanting beauty of Tuareg culture with the world.
