Music never ceases to amaze or surprise. Every time I turn around I am baffled by the weirdest of combinations that prove to work and to work really well.
This time it is the combination of African music and the blues, of Niger guitarist Omara "Bombino" Moctar and The Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach. Auerbach heard Bombino's first album (one that he recorded while in exile in Burkina Faso) and got to work with him in 2012. He then produced Bombino's album. Bombino's second official solo record was released on April 2. This guy can shred.
While Bombino is killing it on guitar, he does not lose his roots. The percussion and tempo are definitely influenced by what he grew up on and his lyrics are in native tongue but music is universal and we can all understand this guy has got some great chops.
