"Nomad's opener, Amidinine, has everything - perpetual motion, a chanted chorus, rocked-up drums and flashes of bluesy brilliance. Azamane Tiliade powers up irresistibly, with whooping throughout, and little solos where you can virtually hear Bombino grinning".

"A perfect match of sound and soul, the set introduces a new guitar hero, and confirms Auerbach's arrival as a roots-music producer to be reckoned with".

"It's a wonderful listen from start to finish, with heavily echoed vocals, and layers of snaky, sinewy guitar lines that build and weave, separate and expand as each track goes on, until everything seems to burst transformed into the immense sonic space of an ocean, or a desert, for that matter".

"Bombino teams up with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys to further cement his status as not just a rising star of "world" music, but also a guitar hero for the 21st Century with a global audience ... While still rooted in the traditions - old and new - of Mali's particular take on the blues, Nomad also stakes itself a place alongside the likes of the Black Keys, Hendrix and, generally, the Western rock canon. Auerbach lends not just celebrity kudos but also a wall-of-sound style of production. Opening track Amidinine sets a tone. You're still knee-deep in Saharan riffs but there is also, in no short supply, an organ-fuelled glam that's got Black Keys written all over it. Likewise on Niamey Jam we are reminded of the Doors and the heyday of psychedelic rock ... A big step forward for Bombino and a great record".
