"Produced by Dirty Projectors leader Dave Longstreth, the virtuosic Saharan guitarist Bombino's latest album features a sublime iteration of desert blues that's both authentic and ambitious".

"Azel is essential, not just for Bombino's growing legion of fans or even those of music from the Sahara region. It is a remarkable example of 21st century popular music. It embraces and intertwines the history of various traditions, from West African folk to blues and rock to reggae - and expands the reach of them all".

""Azel" (...) picks up where his previous album "Nomad" left off. Tracks like "Iyat Ninhay" and "Inar" are classic Bombino and make for a heart-felt record from an artist coming of age. But while eminently listenable, "Azel" lacks some of the punch of his first two records ... He does explore some interesting new directions though, which hint that there are more to come. "Timtar" for example, with its soulful underpinnings and subdued backing vocals, moves beyond the confines of traditional Tuareg arrangements and feels like Bombino taking his music to a much wider audience in a natural way".
