  • There's something alluring and charming about Bombino, whose childlike face belies his fierce, hypnotic guitar playing. The first time I saw him perform, I found myself screaming his name at the end of every song - partly to praise his amazing jams, but also as an exercise in bonding. It felt as if I were yelling out to a buddy on stage, even though I'd never met him. I just felt a connection; his sound is that personable and familiar.
    Omara "Bombino" Moctar is a Tuareg guitarist, born in Niger. The familiarity in his music stems from the blues, a common thread between American music and Africa for obvious reasons. Bombino grew up on the music of Jimi Hendrix, whose sound keeps getting sent back and forth from America to Africa and back again. The American blues-rock duo The Black Keys must have heard this upon listening to Bombino; guitarist Dan Auerbach went on to produce Nomad, Bombino's new album. But there's also an innocence to Bombino, and a sense of simple, honest discovery that shows up in his smile as he plays. You may find yourself screaming his name, too, after watching this performance. --BOB BOILEN

    I appreciate so much the camera's attention to Bombino's hands while he's playing. Guitarists like to be able to see (and be amazed) at what he's doing.

    occasionally he hits one note that just sends shivers down my spine--subtle, light and sweet, mesmerizing and gorgeous.

    The percussion instrument is a calabash, which is a gourd, like a squash or pumpkin.
    It's usually played with sticks and hands.
    I believe the guy playing it, is the drumset player for his band. I saw them at the High Sierra Music Festival last year, and they tore it up.

    I love every sound, I hear. This amazing lyrics without really know what they mean. It's the magic of music, melody, rhythm and the tonality of his voice.

    Bombino is a piece of art for the people to see and hear! Saw him recently in Amsterdam. I am totally feeling the way he looks at his guitar with full emotion. One could argue music shouldn't be allowed to be made without such a deep connection and feeling.
