Bombino
国籍:尼日尔 出生地:蒂德内 职业:歌手 生日:1980年 简介:BiographyBombino was born in Tidene, Niger, a Tuareg encampment outside of Agadez. Following the outbreak of the Tuareg Rebellion in 1990, Bombino, along with his father and grandmother, were forced to flee to neighboring Algeria for safety. By 1997, Bombino had returned to Agadez and began life as a professional musician.
In 2007 tensions grew again in Niger and ultimately erupted into another Tuareg Rebellion. The government, hoping to thwart the rebellion in all its forms, banned guitars for the Tuareg, as the instrument was seen as a symbol of rebellion. Additionally, two of Bombino's fellow musicians were executed, thus forcing him into exile.
While Bombino lived in exile in Burkina Faso, filmmaker Ron Wyman, having heard cassette recordings of his music, decided to track him down. Wyman encouraged Bombino to properly record his music. Bombino agreed, and the two of them produced an album together in Agadez. The recordings culminated in his album Agadez, released in April, 2011 which debuted at the top of the iTunes World Chart.
In January 2010 Bombino was able to return to his home in Agadez. So as to celebrate the end of the conflict, a large concert was organized at the base of the Grand Mosque in Agadez, having received the blessing of the Sultan. Bombino and his band played to over a thousand people at the concert, all dancing and celebrating the end of their struggle. 从艺历程:Meditative and earthy, Niger-based musician Bombino evokes the expansiveness of the Sahara in his work. Born in 1980 as Goumar Almoctar in the nomadic Tuareg encampment Tidene, Bombino came of age during stretches of intense political upheaval. He fled with his family to Algeria in 1990 and returned to Agadez in 1997. In 2007, after political unrest grew in Niger, Bombino fled the country again, this time to Burkina Faso. Filmmaker Ron Wyman tracked Bombino down in 2009, hoping to assist with a proper record. In 2010, Bombino returned to Niger to perform a celebratory concert at the Grand Mosque in Agadez. Released in 2011 and cited as one of NPR’s best discoveries of the year, Agadez showcased Bombino’s captivating vocals, trance-like guitar playing, and evocative rhythms. Bombino recorded his second album, Nomad, in Nashville with the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach. Released in 2013, Nomad is a funky, elegant, gritty mesh of Delta country blues with psychedelic rock. Think Jimi Hendrix meets John Lee Hooker. Bombino’s third album, Azel, produced by David Lonstreth of the Dirty Projectors, was supposedly recorded in one or two takes without fail. In 2017, Bombino and his group recorded their latest album, Deran, in Casablanca, Morocco. Deran represents the artist’s most polished and intimate album to date. The record was nominated for Best World Music Album at the 2019 Grammys, the first ever nomination for an artist from Niger.
