Bombino: Tar Hani

Bombino is a young Tuareg singer and a guitar wizard whose riffs echo Jimi Hendrix and John Lee Hooker. Driven into exile from Niger, Bombino picked up his first guitar at age 12 and helps transport the traditions of his nomadic people into the future. Today's Top Tune is "Tar Hani" (My Love), from his CD, Agadez.
