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.

Partisan Records is a global independent record label that was born in Brooklyn, New York. With offices in New York, London, and LA, Partisan Records has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. The label's President and Co-Founder, Tim Putnam, leads the team with passion and expertise. Partisan Records prides itself on discovering and promoting talented artists from various genres, making it a go-to destination for music lovers worldwide.

Partisan Records release Deran, the new full-length album from Niger-born Tuareg guitar virtuoso, Bombino. Deran – which loosely translates to “best wishes” – is Bombino’s most focused, compelling, and diverse statement to date, and delivers a message of hope and well-wishes to the world in a time of great pain and tumult. Written and sung entirely in Bombino’s native language of Tamasheq, Deran was recorded in Casablanca – at a studio owned by current Moroccan king Mohammed VI, no less - over a ten day stretch, and marks his first time making an album in Africa in nearly a decade. In Bombino’s own words, “my mission for this album was always to get closer to Africa.” How to celebrate, protect, unify, and above all, never forget that desert home, are the salient themes throughout Deran. Across ten tracks, the album showcases Bombino’s mastery of a rich palette - from folk, rock, blues, funk, and of course the Tuareggae sub-genre which he has single-handedly pioneered.
