BOMBINO – Wed., June 12, 2013 – The Majestic Theatre

Omara "Bombino" Moctar is a internationally acclaimed Tuareg guitarist and singer-songwriter from Agadez, Niger. His music frequently addresses Tuareg geopolitical concerns and is sung in the Tuareg language of Tamashek.

He has recorded his most recent and 3rd full lenght album, “Nomad,” in Nashville with US session musicians augmenting his group and the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach producing. Bombino’s sound, like that of desert-rock predecessors Tinariwen is such a hybrid to start with, guided by the deep kinship of West African and American blues.
