Bombino chronology

Deran is the sixth studio album by Nigerien guitarist and singer Bombino. It was recorded in Casablanca at Studio HIBA, a recording studio owned by the king of Morocco. In May 2018, ahead of the album's release, the music blog, Noisey, called Bombino, "the World's Best Guitarist™."[1] Then, on the day before Deran's release, Bombino was dubbed "the Sultan of Shred" by the New York Times,[2] a nickname that was then adopted by several news outlets around the world. Deran was officially released on 18 May 2018, and was received with wide-spread acclaim for both its musicality and its embracement of culture and heritage. Jason Heller of NPR wrote that Bombino's performance on the album, "speaks and breathes across centuries."[3] Deran was nominated in the category of Best World Music Album at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.[4] Bombino is the first Nigerien artist to be nominated for a Grammy award.[5]
