In the suggestive setting of Piazza della Chiesa in Chianni exclusively for the Musicastrada Festival there will be a concert with the famous guitarist Goumar Almoctar, known as Bombino. Prices: 20 euros online - 25 euros at the cash desk.
In Italy, Bombino's sound has conquered everyone, from Fabio Fazio who wanted him to be a guest on Che tempo che Fa to Jovanotti who, fascinated by his history, involved him in the production of his latest album, in fact “ Si alza il vento” ” is born, the result of the collaboration between the Tuscan artist and the Tuareg guitarist. A concert where he can share the freshness of rock and his deep desire for peace and freedom.
In recent years, Bombino has become a world-acclaimed artist and has collaborated with numerous artists and admirers such as Stevie Wonder, Keith Richards, Robert Plant, Dave Longstreth, Dan Auerbach and many others . She has attended the Bonnaroo and Newport Folk Festivals, praised by Pitchfork as “authentic and ambitious.”
Bombino's sounds are reminiscent of those of Tinariwen, nearby desert players, but his electrifying melodies, which enclose the spirit of resistance and rebellion, exude an irresistible groove. A dense and magmatic version of the blues, to which is added the particularity of breaking away from the classic metric based on the “call and response” between solo singer and choir (usually female) replacing the latter with the melodic disgressions of the guitar. Composer and desert-rock guitarist, Bombino refers to the typical sounds of the 60s-70s, from Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, inserting them into a rock-blues context of American matrix enriched by vocalisms in Tamasheq, the Tuareg language.
