Bombino’s album Agadez can be heard at www.npr.org/2011/04/11/135176796/first-listen-bombino-agadez

thanks to Muzikifan

Great footage of Bombino playing live at www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzWBow0OAeA

“Tuareg musician Bambino from Agadez, Niger, performs with his band at the foot of the ancient Grande Mosque attended by close to a thousand people. At the edge of the Sahara Desert, Agadez has been cut off from the rest of the world due to rebellions and floods for three years.”

If you like Tuareg music, this really rocks

About Rob

Rob co-founded BCB with Mary Dowson, back when the hills were young and it were all flat caps an chappatis round 'ere. It was known as Bradford Festival Radio then, and thanks to the generosity of Dusty Rhodes we got started. Now he takes photos, puts little silver discs in drawers, mumbles into microphones, and walks on the hills. Keep On Blowin..
