new album, Listen to the Music, available now! Growing up surrounded by war in his home country of Niger, Bombino is an artist who chose to use his guitar and music as his weapon of choice. We took his song, “Ahoulaguine Akaline,” around the world, adding musicians from the U.S. all the way to Japan—showing men and women, all connected and using their talents as weapons for good. “…When you feel somebody with talent and it inspires you, opens your heart…you look at the world differently,” says PFC co-founder and producer Mark Johnson. Learn more about the inspiration behind this song by watching our final installment of When the Music Comes to Life for our Listen to the Music series.
