Our Take

Bombino's latest album, Sahel, is a sonic journey through the desert, complete with swirling guitar riffs and infectious rhythms that will have you dancing like you're at a Saharan rave. The album kicks off with the hypnotic groove of "Imajghane," setting the tone for a musical experience that is both exhilarating and mesmerizing.

Bombino's virtuosic guitar playing is on full display throughout Sahel, with tracks like "Tehigren" showcasing his ability to effortlessly blend traditional Tuareg music with modern rock and blues influences. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and cutting-edge, like stumbling upon a lost recording from the 1970s that somehow feels completely of the moment.

But it's not just Bombino's guitar skills that shine on Sahel. His vocals are equally compelling, conveying a sense of longing and yearning that speaks to the struggles and triumphs of the Tuareg people. Songs like "Adounia" and "Chatahat" are powerful reminders of the resilience and strength of a culture that has faced centuries of oppression and marginalization.

In the end, Sahel is a triumph of an album, a captivating blend of tradition and innovation that showcases Bombino's unique talents as a musician and storyteller. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a glass of mint tea, and let Sahel take you on a musical journey like no other. You won't regret it.

Bombino

Back from the desert sands of Niger comes the Tuareg guitar hero and rightful heir to the throne of Saharan rock, BOMBINO. With his mesmerizing blend of traditional Tuareg melodies and electrifying guitar riffs, he is like the lovechild of Jimi Hendrix and Tinariwen. Born Omara Moctar, BOMBINO first picked up a guitar at the age of ten and hasn't looked back since. His music reflects the nomadic lifestyle of his people, with songs that speak of love, rebellion, and the vast open spaces of the Sahara. His haunting vocals and virtuosic guitar skills have earned him a loyal following around the globe. BOMBINO's latest album, "Deran," is a sonic journey through the heart of the desert, with hypnotic rhythms and soul-stirring melodies that transport the listener to another world. Tracks like "Tenesse" and "Adouni Dagh" showcase his mastery of the guitar, while "Imajghane" and "Oulhin" highlight his lyrical prowess. With a live show that is nothing short of electrifying, BOMBINO is a force to be reckoned with on stage. His energy is infectious, his guitar solos jaw-dropping, and his presence magnetic. Whether you're a fan of world music, rock, or just good music in general, BOMBINO is an artist you need to have on your radar. In a music industry dominated by manufactured pop stars and cookie-cutter acts, BOMBINO stands out as a true original. His music is a breath of fresh air, a reminder of the power of cultural exchange and the beauty of diversity. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of tea, and let BOMBINO's music take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
