Sometimes it’s the simplest words that stop you cold. Soft-spoken Tuareg artist Omara ‘ Bombino ’ Moctar proved this to me on a stiflingly hot summer evening at the 2012 Pickathon Festival backstage. I was talking to him for their post-performance video interviews, aided by French-Canadian guitarist Yann Falquet as translator, and I wanted to ask him about the violence and upheaval in Mali and Niger. For decades the Tuareg people have fought for independence in Northern Mali, and part of the reason behind the popularity of Tuareg music in the West [...]
Passados 2 anos após a edição de Agadez, Omara “Bombino” Moctar vagueou até Nashville para gravar Nomad. O novo álbum conta com a produção do aclamado Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) e com o selo da Nonesuch Records, guiando-nos numa viagem transcendental e optimista utilizando como veículo o blues rock do deserto dos Tuareg. No primeiro álbum a solo (Agadez de 2011), gravado durante o seu período de exílio devido à proibição da utilização de guitarras no seu país, Bombino apresentou-nos o seu dom inato mas também o seu lado mais sóbrio e soturno.

Hanni El Khatib ’s formula is simple and reminiscent of the nonchalant coolness that usually goes along with slicked-back hair, rolled up sleeves that disguise the boxy outline of a quickly thinning pack of cigarettes, and motorcycle gang tattoos. Khatib ’s debut, Will The Guns Come Out?, toyed with blues-inspired garage rock, and generally introduced himself as a character. Head in the Dirt is simply another chapter for the character of Hanni El Khatib who, guided by producer Dan Auerbach of [...]

Wild Asian Motorcycle Sex Gang. That's the concept director Nick Walter thought up three years ago and brought to life in LA-based garage rock artist Hanni El Khatib 's video for "Family," which comes off his upcoming Dan Auerbach-produced album, Head In The Dirt .

With all of the overtly modernized and technologically-rooted music being released these days, it's refreshing to meet a new artist who embodies that bluesy, rebellious rock attitude of decades past. Los Angeles singer/songwriter Hanni El Khatib has carved a niche for himself it today's music scene by focusing on the more traditional components of songwriting, forgoing computer generated sound elements in favor of some good old fashioned percussive punishment and intense (albeit masterful) guitar playing. For his upcoming sophomore LP, Head In The Dirt , Khatib linked up with fellow musical renaissance man Dan Auerbach of the [...]

As I'm sure you're all aware, the Grammy Nominations took place live at Bridgestone Arena last night in Nashville. Included among this year's nominees are several Nashville locals (and transplants). Obviously Nashville cornered the market on country nominations, as Music City is wont to do, along with other expected nods in Christian, bluegrass, and folk. More excitingly, the Academy also awarded Jack White and The Black Keys with a lot of love. The Black Keys/Dan Auerbach received a respetable 6 nominations, including Record (Song) of the Year and Album of the Year. Though it sort of reminds me of the [...]
