Terse, arid Tuareg blues, contrasting Bombino’s parched voice with a guitar tone lush as an oasis. So much for ethnocentrism. Agadez mixes contemplative acoustic jams with live electric scorchers – jam-banders and Touré fans will surely eat up this former herdsman and desert rebel who has recorded with the Stones.
Reminds us of: Lobi Traoré | John Lee Hooker | Feeling thirsty
