Omara "Bombino" Moctar is a preternaturally talented, young Tuareg guitarist and songwriter raised during an era of armed struggles for independence and violent suppression by government forces. His electrifying jams capture the spirit of that resistance and rebellion while echoing with the work of fellow African artists Tinariwen and Ali Farka Toure, as well as stateside icons such as Jimi Hendrix and John Lee Hooker.
