thanks to Muzikifan
Great footage of Bombino playing live at www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzWBow0OAeA
“Tuareg musician Bambino from Agadez, Niger, performs with his band at the foot of the ancient Grande Mosque attended by close to a thousand people. At the edge of the Sahara Desert, Agadez has been cut off from the rest of the world due to rebellions and floods for three years.”
If you like Tuareg music, this really rocks
