"What makes Agadez accessible is Bombino's innate melodicism. His tunes are equally winning whether led by his soulful voice or his tart guitar. He was born in 1980, and his tutelage includes the study of VHS tapes of classic rock and stints playing with the leading lights of his local scene; the anthemic quality he brings to "Ahoulanguine Akaline" sounds natural".
