PAN M 360 at Nuits d’Afrique 2024 | Bombino: human warmth with the beat of the desert

Interview by Frédéric Cardin
Genres and styles : Saharan Blues

Additional Information

Bombino arrives in Quebec for two concerts, one at the Festival d’été de Québec on July 14 and the other at the Festival Nuits d’Afrique in Montreal on July 16. Two free concerts not to be missed at either of these urban events. Bombino was the very first musician from Niger to receive a Grammy nomination in 2019. He has also been produced by Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), named ”The Sultan of Shred” by the New York Times, and was the subject of a Ron Wyman documentary Agadez, the Music and the Rebellion, in 2010. I offer you this encounter with a man of touching humility and sincerity, inhabited by music and the spirit of the desert, with which he conveys a rare human warmth, made up of welcome and openness.

DETAILS OF BOMBINO’S CONCERT (FREE) AT THE QUEBEC CITY SUMMER FESTIVAL, JULY 14 AT 9PM
