Omara "Bombino" Moctar, whose given name is Goumar Almoctar, was born on January 1st, 1980 in Tidene, Niger, an encampment of nomadic Tuaregs located about 80 kilometers to the northeast of Agadez. He is a member of the Ifoghas tribe, which belongs to the Kel Air Tuareg federation.
Listening to a few conversations in the queue before the doors opened it appeared there were a quite a number of attendees with little or no knowledge of the music of Omara Moctar, otherwise known as Bombino.
The choice of venue was significant: the Village Underground in Shoreditch was packed with a young enthusiastic crowd cheering a Tuareg singer-songwriter and guitarist from the northern desert of Niger as if he were a rock star.
