BOMBINO
Tuesday, April 10 at 8 pm
DC9 Nightclub
1940 9th Street, NW, Washington, DC
Tickets: $20
For more info: Online
Bombino returns to DC's open arms to rock one of the city's best and most intimate houses of music. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to catch the Touareg Jimi Hendrix up close and local (and prepare to have your mind blown)! From his bio: "Omara "Bombino" Moctar, a young Tuareg guitarist and songwriter, was raised during an era of armed struggles for independence and violent suppression by government forces. His electrifying jams capture the spirit of resistance and rebellion while echoing with guitar riffs reminiscent of fellow Africans Tinariwen and Ali Farka Touré not to mention rock and blues icons such as Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page. Already a superstar in the Tuareg community, with the release of Agadez on Cumbancha Discovery Bombino's stature as one of Africa's hottest young guitarists has been revealed to the world."
