Bombino, Tamikrest and Ag Jackson
Monday, January 9th, 2012
This 2011 november evening, I had the chance to witness my first tuareg rock battle.
On one side of the ring, Bombino from Agadez, Niger, jumping all around and playing with his Fender as fast as he could.
On the other side, Tamikrest from Kidal, Mali, calmly and deeply launching their Gibson sound in the air.
And the winner was ….
Ahmed Abdoulaye Boudane (aka “Ag Jackson”), young tuareg painter, who made a brilliant saharan air guitar show.
