GRAMMY-nominated guitar virtuoso Bombino comes to the UK for a ground-shaking tour

Hailed as the “Sultan of Shred,” Bombino blends traditional Saharan rhythms with rock, blues, and reggae, crafting hypnotic, high-energy performances that transport audiences straight to the heart of the desert. His virtuosic guitar work, soulful vocals, and driving grooves have earned him comparisons to legends like Jimi Hendrix and Ali Farka Touré.

His new collection of songs, entitled Sahel after the African region spanning East - West from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, is Bombino’s most personal, powerful, and politically minded work to date. It’s also his most sonically diverse, a quality he set out to achieve from the start, and one that is meant to directly mirror the complex tapestry of cultures and people that make up the Sahel region itself.
