Omara “Bombino” Moctar, whose given name is Goumour Almoctar, was born on January 1, 1980, in Tidene, Niger. Growing up during a time of political upheaval, Bombino and his family fled to Algeria in 1990. It was during this period that he discovered his passion for music and learned to play the guitar. After returning to Niger years later, Bombino began pursuing a career in music.

Bombino's music is sung in Tamasheq and often addresses geopolitical concerns. His electrifying jams capture the spirit of resistance and rebellion while echoing with guitar riffs reminiscent of fellow Africans *Tinariwen* and *Ali Farka Touré*, as well as legends like Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker, and Jimmy Page.

If you enjoy the sounds of artists such as *Imarhan*, *Oumou Sangaré*, or *Songhoy Blues*, then Bombino's unique blend of African rhythms and rock-inspired guitar will surely captivate your ears.

Bombino is back with a brand new studio album - Sahel. The new record is Bombino’s first full album in over five years, and follows 2018’s Deran, which garnered praise like ""the Sultan of Shred"" from The New York Times, and ""the World's Best Guitarist"" from Vice. This praise also turned the guitar luminary and Tuareg folk hero into the first-ever Grammy®-nominated artist from Niger. Sahel&nbsp;was produced by David Wrench (David Byrne, Frank Ocean, Caribou, The xx) and was recorded at Studio HIBA in Casablanca, Morocco.
