Bombino

A leading figure of Tuareg blues, Bombino brings his musical world to the stage of the Théâtre de Châtillon, guitar in hand.

Bombino has established himself as a leading figure of Tuareg blues. A Nigerien guitarist, composer and singer, the artist began his musical career in 1997 in rock before releasing his first album, Yeh Umre Hai Aisi, the same year on the Sublime Frequencies label. His style combines traditional Tuareg rhythms with the energy of rock and blues, influenced by the electric guitar and the great names of the genre.

On stage, Bombino performs surrounded by musicians, including Goumour Almoctar, Kawissan Mohamed Alhassan, Anass Almahamoud and Corey Wilhelm, an American drummer. The set gives pride of place to long instrumental improvisations and fast-tempo pieces, characteristic of this style. The line-up delivers a direct and dynamic performance, centred on guitar virtuosity and the strength of its melodies.

This evening is aimed at lovers of world music, blues and instrumental rock. The audience discovers a show centred on guitar and percussion, in the acoustics of the Théâtre de Châtillon's hall, well suited to this kind of concert.
