THANK YOU TO THE ONES THAT REPOST AND LIKE 💯

Guitarist, singer and songwriter Omara “Bombino” Moctar is indeed a nomad, the word he has chosen as the title for his Dan Auerbach–produced Nonesuch debut, recorded during 10 days of sessions at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, Tennessee. A native of Agadez, Niger, he is a member of the Tuareg people, who have, for centuries, tended cattle and wandered the Saharan desert regions of West Africa. But rising star Bombino—buzzed about in music circles since the independent release of his 2011 album Agadez—has adopted the farther-reaching role of itinerant musician, intrepidly bringing a plugged-in version of his mesmerizing native sound to audiences around the world.

Partant d'Agadez, Azawad, puis le monde, la musique touareg a grandi avec Tinariwen et elle vit désormais avec Ezza.

Se détachant de ses illustres prédécesseurs, le power trio EZZA transforme et amène la musique touareg hors des sentiers convenus, mêlant sans concessions sonorités rock modernes, pulse africaine, rythmiques transes, et groove implacable. 

Des mélodies et un groove puisés dans le désert, un savoureux mélange de blues, de rock, et de chansons touaregs ... le trio EZZA porte un regard sur le Niger, pays d'origine du chanteur Omar Adam, à travers une musique engagée et porteuse d'espoir. Accrocheur et terriblement efficace.

Issu d'une famille de forgerons touaregs du Niger, Goumour Omar Adam grandit en apprenant le métier de ses parents. Enfant, il s'imprègne des groupes emblématiques touaregs tels que Tinariwen, Takrist Nakal...En arrivant en France, à Toulouse, il crée le groupe Ezza avec Menad Moussaoui (basse / Bombes2Bal, Guesra ...) et Stéphane Gratteau (batterie / Curcuma, Stabat Akish, ...).

Tuareg blues guitar music hits the music airwaves once again, but this time it is not Tinariwen, Tidawt, or Toumast. Instead, the North African guitar rockers are Ezza, originally from Niger, but now based in France. The seven track release is loaded with rockin' hooks and licks deep from within the Saharan desert. However, the musical influences may extend beyond the region, but the end result is something of pure magnificence. The fluid guitar calisthenics are very engaging, along with the lead vocals. Fans of North African blues guitar music will like this upbeat recording. Anyone with a passion for African guitar music should check it out, though (by Mathiew Forss / Insideworldmusic)
