Bombino's Nonesuch debut album, Nomad, has been named among NPR Music's 50 Favorite Albums of 2013. The Tuareg guitarist, singer, and songwriter and The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, who produced the album, "turned out to be a fabulous team," says Bob Boilen, host of NPR's All Songs Considered. "What you hear on Nomad is Bombino's already vigorous sound with a bit more bite."

Nomad was recently named to Rolling Stone's list of the 50 Best Albums of 2013 and to Uncut's list of the Best World Music Albums. "For this raw cross-cultural jam, Omara 'Bombino' Moctar—a hot-shit guitarist from Niger—hooked up with Black Key Dan Auerbach, who produced the LP with a crate-digging R&B/psych vibe," says Rolling Stone. "It's full of hypnotic fuzz, and the cosmic country of 'Tamiditine' conjures Workingman's Dead—if it'd been made in the Sahara desert." Read more at rollingstone.com.
