Sahel Bombinos new album invites rock into traditional Tuareg music

Bombino has been performing at the most prestigious festivals in the world, playing his desert blues for over fifteen years. With Sahel, his new album, the gifted Nigerian guitar player escapes to more eclectic and powerful sound shores, between folk, rock and ballads. A hypnotic alliance punctuated by traditional rhythms, while continuing its musical and political commitment, to better promote the cultural richness of the Sahel region. This album follows Deran, which made him the first Touareg nominated for a Grammy Award in 2019.
