"Soul of the Sahara": A Night With Bombino for Nomadic Families in Niger

The voice of the new Tuareg generation comes to The Music Hall!

On April 5th, Portsmouth audiences will have the chance to see rising international music star Bombino in a rare U.S. performance at The Music Hall. Soul of the Sahara will be the second time Bombino takes to the stage to raise funds and awareness for nomadic communities in Niger, West Africa.

"His desert rock and roll guitar had the audience cheering. It is the new sound of Niger. Bombino brings a message of peace to the world and is an example of the spirit of changing guns for guitars."  – Afropop Worldwide

"The world's best blues guitarist resides in the Sahara." - The Wall Street Journal

Soul of the Sahara will be a special stop on the world tour featuring Bombino’s latest studio effort, AGADEZ, designated by NPR as one of their 50 Favorite Albums of 2011.

Don't miss this voice of the new Tuareg generation and his wholly unique West African sound that has captured the world. All proceeds will ensure nomadic families in our partner communities can send their children to school, create their own food security, and learn new livelihoods.
