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's Deran. Available here on LP and CD.

Deran is Bombino’s (Omara "Bombino" Moctar) follow up record to 2016’s Azel. Deran was recording in Casablanca, Morocco and will be released on May 18th, 2018. Previously Bombino has worked with producers such as Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) and Dave Longstreth (Dirty Projectors). This album sees a return to his African roots while still pioneering and exploring a new style of Tuareg music which he affectionately calls ‘Tuareggae’ – a sunny blend of Tuareg blues/rock, reggae one-drop and bounce.
