Deran

"The album's title itself translates to "best wishes," a sentiment delivered to a groom on the deeply percussive "Deran Deran Alkheir." As an addition to Bombino's already sterling catalog, Deran is another excellent release and a natural continuation of his distinctive style".

"Of all the second-generation Tamasheq bluesmen, Omara Moctar seems the least beholden to the strictures his peers have applied to their music to keep it authentic ... Doubters are entitled to wonder if they haven't already amassed a few tracks called "Midiwan" from the Tuareg stable. However, there's a roughness and freewheeling lack of structure to "Imajghane" that other bands might edit out, and Moctar's instinctive feel for reggae comes through on several tracks - as does his love of apparently stumbling over a groove and then letting it take him wherever it wants".
