“I can’t imagine any album being better than this in 2011″ – Derek Beres, Huffington Post

“His desert rock and roll guitar had the audience cheering. It is the new sound of Niger and with his new album and a film he’ll soon be widely known. A member of the rebellion in Niger, Bombino brings a message of peace to the world and is an example of the spirit of changing guns for guitars.” – Afropop.org reporting from Festival In the Desert, 2011
