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.

Niger-born Tuareg guitar virtuoso Bombino releases his first- ever live album as a solo artist, Live In Amsterdam, via Partisan Records.

Recorded in November of 2019 while Bombino and his band were touring behind his acclaimed latest studio album Deran, Live In Amsterdam showcases Bombino’s rich musical palette, as he and his internationally renowned band seamlessly blend folk, rock, blues, funk and, most uniquely, the ‘Tuareggae’ sub- genre which Bombino and his band pioneered.

In addition to his regular band, this performance features special guests and Bombino’s cousins, Nigerian singer / actress Toulou Kiki as well as Anana Harouna of Kel Assouf.
