Azel

Bombino, 1980-

Music - 2016

Fans of Bombino and Tuareg music in general will notice a few remarkable innovations on this album. The first is the introduction of a new style that Bombino is pioneering that he affectionally refers to as 'Tuareggae'; a sunny blend of Tuareg blues-rock with reggae one-drop and bounce. Another is the first-ever use of Western vocal harmonies in recorded Tuareg music, which give the songs new depth and color.
