^ What a wonderful piece of music this is. I listened to it last night, and immediately downloaded the two albums by Bombino that you`ve brought to MB`s attention.
So far, I`ve only listened to the one you`re showing here, Agadez, which is an absolute treat for anyone who enjoys electric guitar. I love the long, slow menacing solos, like the 13-minute live version of Tigrawahi Tikma, though, on first listen through, I was most impressed by Iyat Idounia, in which Bombino, presumably, rocks out as if he were auditioning for the Allman Brothers.
But as you say, stp, it`s not all guitar-hero stuff; there are some great African backing vocals somewhere as well as a light, hypnotic track called Tebsakh Dalet. As I`m sure we all know, that means "A Green Acacia" in er, Tuaregian.
Thanks, stp; it`s when I come across music tips like this that I realize just how much I get out of MB.
