JUSTIN ADAMS & JULDEH CAMARA: JUJU
BOMBINO
Fri 23 Sep 2011, 7.30pm
Barbican Hall
An evening of hypnotic African grooves, featuring the transcendental, dubbed-out sound of Real World’s musical alchemists Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara (JuJu). Plus intoxicating riffs from the ‘Saharan Santana’ (Songlines) – fast-rising Tuareg guitarist Omara “Bombino” Moctar.
JuJu’s transcendental music draws on rock ‘n’ roll, dub, avant-garde jazz and African dread in equal measure. Tracks build and circle, layer and knit to give a hallucinogenic feel.
Rising star guitarist Omara "Bombino" Moctar is a young Tuareg guitarist and songwriter. His electrifying jams capture the spirit of resistance and rebellion while echoing with guitar riffs reminiscent of Tinariwen and Ali Farka Touré, not to mention rock and blues icons such as Jimi Hendrix, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Page.
