Oh yeah, along with all the tech gadgets and panels on how VR (virtual reality) is going to save not only the music and film industries but also civilization as we know it (and perhaps even lower the price of bad pizza in the Austin Convention Center!),there was some actual music in Austin at South By Southwest 2016. Here African blues guitarist and singer Bombino from Agadez, Niger and his band perform at the Radio Day Stage. Another variation on the sub-Saharan African blues/groove guitar genre, the man is virtuoso and is not to be missed.
