Group Bombino


Group Bombino, Music of Niger: Guitars From Agadez Vol. 2
(Sublime Frequencies 2009)

Follow-up to the series that started with the excellent Group Inerane LP, which disappeared in about two seconds and recently came out on CD ... the Group Bombino vinyl got a slightly bigger run but still a get-it-while-it's-hot situation. The music of Niger -- side 1 is acoustic, side 2 electric and ecstatic.
