The guitarist and singer Omara “Bombino” Moctar released his latest album, “Sahel”last year through Partisan Records. Now he will visit us to present the album in Madrid and Barcelona.
“Sahel” is the name of their album and also of the African region that extends east to west from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, and is the follow-up to their 2018 album, “Deran”which converted Bombino the first Nigerien artist nominated for the Grammy Awards.
To give life to this new album, Bombino worked closely with the Welsh producer David Wrench (known for working with artists such as David Byrne, Frank Ocean, Caribou, Goldfrapp), moving with his colleagues to the studio hiba in Casablanca (the most important recording studio on the entire African continent) for ten days to produce the album.
So note: Bombino will be performing on Tuesday, November 12 in Madrid (Sala Villanos) and Wednesday, November 13 in Barcelona (La Paloma).
The Madrid concert is part of the Villanos del Jazz cycle while the Barcelona concert is part of the Banco Mediolanum 26è Festival Mil·lenni.
