Amidinine, amidinine
Tada adounia tichagret
Tada adounia gouzoul
Sagglete s'immik iyyane
Was tarhed dagh manak
Awa tarhed, arhekh
Iguekh dagh mane isiglekh
Edag dossed kitawakh
(translation)
My friend, my friend
This life is long
This life is short
Manage it in a certain way
The way that suits you
What you desire, I desire it as well
From the depth of my heart, I accept it
Everywhere I go, I'll think about it

groovy jam 
Yes. Guitars ARE a symbol of rebellion. No matter what language the vocalist sings in.
Loved this song on first listen, and that album art is SO good.

You lucky duck. I wish that I could have been there too, to see & hear them!
I saw them in Portugal on a beach festival a few years ago. What an awesome vibe they created!! They sound amazing dessert haunting rock!
Please people open your minds hearts and ears for different sounds.

It got me the first time. Quite a unique use of electric guitar and typical Arab singing (which I cannot stand in its original form). Has a character of its own.

Oh I love this! They (and the likes of Tinariwen) have got something going!

This is one of the songs that when you just start listening to rp you hate, than over the time you begin to like and appreciate compared to some of the rest. =)

I've had many "Moggy's" - '59 Plus 4 was my first, followed by a 57 Plus 4, another '59 but a 4-seater this time, and my favorite, a '64 DHC. Did many rallies in the '60s and '70s with the Morgan Plus Four Club in LA. Now I'm too old to even get myself into one!

I really like the lead guitar in this song. That opening riff kicked ass.

I'm surprised by all the comments along the lines of initially not liking it, then later coming to like it.
I love this from day 1. Absolutely LOVE it. Bombino is a great guitarist, and I love his sound.
I hadn't heard of Bombino before hearing it here, ... yet another example of how Bill and RP make lives richer. Thanks Bill!

Abrasive music. Think squeeking chalk on a chalk board sounds better.

Great guitar player and wonderful live band. I saw them several times in my home country in the Netherlands.
Saw Bomino in concert in SF. FABULOUS. But if he could get a band that's as good as he is to back him up...he'd be world famous.
I do like this song, but, I've been listening a lot these past few weeks., and I seem to hear it every day or maybe every two days (I'm losing track...). Same with some other songs. Anyway - more than 3x in the past 30 days..
When I first heard this song I was kind of blown away. Now it's a favorite, as are other Bombino songs.

Do I hear an old blues riff in there?
Gotta have that daily hit of Bombino I guess.

I recognize that. The overwhelming feeling a song can give you, hearing it for the first time and going to the heart right away (where it may stay for ever).

Excellent music! African music has such a beautiful sound.
Bombino is fantastic. This is Tuareg blues...what a wonderful world we live in.

Thanks Fred, I'm going to put the word "insouciant" in my back pocket for a very special occasion.

Our cat's name is Isis, and she rocks, especially to this tune, it's awesome!
(we named her long before that other organization co opted her name!)

It is about their old TUAREG trade of robbing peaceful trans-Saharan caravans

I've just read Bombino's profile on Wikipedia, as advised by Bill on air : impressing indeed !
It makes me glad to have heard him from Africa through USA to my far away little Belgium ;)

Upon closer inspection, the pinched ends of the exhaust pipes give it away as being a early vintage CB 500 Four. Still a very cool album cover along with the Fender Strat riding shotgun.
Dig the song too!

I guess this is how you say "Black Keys" in Tuareg.
Love it!

High Sierra next week!!
Massive grower.
Dan Auerbach's influence is really obvious in this track, but in a good way!!

Thanks, Bill. Love Bombino.
