about
Still largely unknown to Western ears, Omar Moctar, aka "Bambino", is the idol of the young Tuareg of Niger. He performs wild gigs with the electric guitar, which have often earned him comparisons with Jimi Hendrix. Bambino's melodic tracks (like 'Yamidinine') are often sung around campfires, proof among the Tuareg that his are "hit" songs.
In late 2004 Bambino recorded acoustic versions of 10 tracks in the Ténéré desert, which became this, his first real album. He sings and plays several of his compositions and also pays tribute to other Tuareg artists (Abdallah Oumbadougou, Hasso, Kedou).
The label Reaktion has now made this historical recording available to download. The album is released with a digital booklet including translations of the songs, an interview with Bambino and text by the ethnomusicologist Anouck Genthon.

Le Chant Des Fauves - a Collection of Music of the Sahara
Our idea is to use music as a media
... more
for bringing to the attention of the Western public information about the conditions of life of the Saharan people.
Our albums are always accompanied by booklets rich in detail. We have used the expert knowledge of anthropologists, ethnologists etc to provide the in depth knowledge that we wish to share.
