In addition to his regular band, this performance features special guests and Bombinoâs cousins, Nigerian singer/actress Toulou Kiki as well as Anana Harouna of Kel Assouf.

May his soul rest in peace.

Noisey went as far as to declare him âWorld’s Best Guitaristâ˘â. The album also received a Grammy nod for Best World Music Album, making Bombino the first-ever artist from Niger to receive a Grammy nomination.
