Bombino July 26, 2011

Guitarist and songwriter Omara "Bombino" Moctar was raised during an era of armed struggles for Tuareg independence and violent suppression by government forces. Bombino's electrifying jams capture the spirit of resistance and rebellion while echoing with guitar riffs reminiscent of fellow Africans Tinariwen and Ali Farka Toure not to mention rock and blues icons such as Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page.
