“The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach pairs up with monster Tuareg guitarist Bombino for a dream-team album.” npr

“Nomad is a seductive album that manages to bring a distant Islamic culture unexpectedly close through the universal language of rock 'n' roll.” The New York Times

“Bombino” is a self-taught guitarist deeply rooted in Saharan nomad identity. From a childhood marked by uprisings, war and exile, Bombino developed a unique approach to guitar playing (an instrument adopted by the Tuareg culture). Through his compositions and inspirational lyrics he gives life to the sentiments and dignity of the nomadic tribes of the Sahara and Sahel. He was recognized as one of the most powerful voices of his people, and discovered by filmmaker Ron Wyman, and in 2006 by Keith Richards and Charlie Watts (The Rollings Stones) who invited Bombino to record with them in California.
