KEXP is criminally underrated. The amount of musicians they’ve brought to the ears of Seattle is legendary. So happy to see their influence spread.
Seconded.
Yeah! I'm a musician in middle of nowhere Twin Falls Idaho and my friends and I have always considered making it onto KEXP as THE thing to aspire to as a mostly unknown band
This is why I answer "I don't know" when asked what music I listen to
I hear you. When I get asked that, I always reply, "good music."
I say "rock"
never trust people wo say "I hear all kinds of music". In my experience they don't have the slightest idea what they are talking about.
I LOVE your comment! hehehe
@@petsp2305 Can't give you love because there's only a like button :/
It's a shame how much of the worlds beautiful music we're not exposed to
You got to check out WOMAD they promote world music concerts
I've seen a lot of music from around the world.
No idea how this ended up in my feed, but it makes you grateful to live when we do. I was born in the early '50's. We've all come a long. glorious way.
This Guy made me proud of having the name Tuareg (i'm mexican, but my parents are kinda crazy)
Tienes un nombre chido y original. Y sí, este bro la arma bien efectivo.
I am German I just love him and his music
You are Mexican....but if you gonna look you will find North African blood in you. ✌bro
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
bless your parents
This is music for working out, for writing, for talking a walk, for a date, and to be alone, or sad.
This is music for fucking living.
Now thats what you call music! 😂👍
Word. I’ve been listening to it while working at home during covid and it’s so life affirming and joyous in every way!
and you type English
I’m doing mushrooms and watching this tonight…if I can keep it together enough o remember
Listening make me meditate

Gracias
Gracias!!
Thank you
Tenkiu, digo, gracias
This is pure joy for me. Taking me from a bad mental state to a positive one. Thanks for posting and bless these musicians. I’d be happy if last thing I did on Earth was see this and Bombino!
This is the magic of RUclips. You come here to look for something and eventually you will find the opposite of what you wanted. And this is even much better that you could ever imagine. Those guys are awesome. This this guitar is simply magical. Greetings from Poland.
LIberations army against freedom your comment made me want to move to Poland. love ur energy
I loved your comment, hugs from Ilha Comprida,SP,Brazil.!!!!!!!!
I saw them last night....trancending psychedelia
Agreed-isn't it great that you and I can share this together?
Greetings from SW Oregon...wow, such runs, cord swings interspersed with one note aural drills, wow!...imagine what he could do using all his fingers...ya ya ya ya yah What a treat to see/hear him perform outdoors, after dark to several 10s of thousands of people dancing!
this bloke's lead guitar playing is absolutely superhuman, takes quite the backing band to keep up with him at all
Damn good band at that. All talented, but especially that drummer.
KEXP finds the best artists.
Seriously do! There's been so many of these videos of broadcasts with awesome stuff, and they seem to always get the best touring acts to show up in the studio. I used to go to Bumbershoot, and one of the very best shows I've ever seen anywhere was Os Mutantes from Brazil in about 2007, and they did a KEXP show that year also which is great. Admittedly they're a little more muted in the smaller environment of the studio, but still terrific.
Kexp and tiny desk really help us find awesome bands!
What a big jump in the desert ! Sometimes in Sardinia we get the sand of the Sahara by wind or by rain . Netx time I will touch the sand I will remember this fantastic music. Greetings from Sardinia.
Next time I touch sand I'll probably just think of Attack of the Clones.
Sardinian Qwerty great compliment!
Anche io fratello
What a lovely thing to say.
Beautiful image
Tuareg rock is simply a gem of its own. I'm glad Tinariwen is not alone on this. Mdou Moctar is a huge exponent.
You should check out Bombino
I saw Tinarian, live at WOMADELAIDE 2010, awesome
Afel Bocoum is another guitarist in the Toureg genre. He's not as flashy as Mdou but his melodies are better IMO
@@carl1964carlmdo moctar the best gitariste 💿👑😎💪💪💪💪💪💪
Don't forget terakaft
This is honestly a whole nother level. They take rock back to its basic instrumentation but play in such a fresh style that it has the same energy and excitement as the old school rock and roll records.
Plus they have that sense on impending CHANGE that revolutionary music like Rock 'N Roll brought to the culture. Agreed-a whole new level!
@@TonyMacFarlane agree
No such word as nother. Its another.
@@TheStarBlack do you have nother contribution?
@@TheStarBlack Don't be nother one of those guys.
I'll bet Hendrix would love this stuff.
Robert plant is super into it , stuff like this inspired Kashmir
Sure he would
he had a jam with another well known band called "tinariwen" same twareg style at the Gnawa festival in essawira morocco , the sixties I guess
Jimmy Page , Plant and Hendrix would love this shit
I know Brian Jones was into North African music. He recorded with the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka. and I know if he was still alive, he would be all over this. Here's a RUclips video about that album from Joujouka: ruclips.net/video/LwEoDGeNyrE/видео.html
the bridge pickup was invented just for this dude.
I've always wondered why Berber musicians choose Strats...perfect sound for these guys!
@@robsan52 i'd like to think that they were particularly drawn to their sound and not just because it was the most accessible kind of guitar
Also chorus pedals
Probably the Jimi influence
Wow, insightful comment.
Never seen anyone that can tremolo pick with their index like that. This guy is off the charts, next level talented.
The ladies LOVE him.
look up middle eastern lute players. specifically the the persian Setar, or the turkish Saz not sure the names of instruments any further south than those
@@babyfactory587 the arabic version is the oud.
Watch Sonny Landreth, e.g. A World Away live.
chubbyurma true dat!
I just woke up and somehow Mdou Moctar came up on auto play. Best morning ever!
Mdou is amazing, of course, but I’ve gotta say I really love the drums too!
Don't understand what he says but definitely understand what his guitar is singing
Are you my brother? xD
@@mennytrevizo2703 maybe haha not many people with that last name my fam is from Chihuahua
Yeah, mi abuelo es de ahí jajaja qué coincidencia encontrarte en los bajos mundos del RUclips hahaha vivo en Torreón ahora, pero soy de Juárez jaja
Ala ver, si han de ser famila!! 😆
Hahahaha! Funny comments
Saw these guys open for Tame Impala, amazing
Where? In the states ? Or
@@d_walsh Yes, Asheville North Carolina.
@@juliusc.8 Interesting. I'm not a huge fan of Tame Impala as I feel that they take the whole psychedelic thing to extreme levels that just get annoying, but this is entirely different in that it feels more like a sort of Eastern mysticism that surrounds you. Hope to see Moctar in a few months!
cool story boomer
Joshua Hoffman nice bait
Absolutely amaizing! This must be the thing that unite us, not religion, war, suffering and greed!
From never heard of this guy/recommended by RUclips to "I have to buy this" in 44 minutes.
No doubt !!!!
:-D Yeah, I also falled in love instantly with this music. Just some years ago.
Check out Bombino, Tinariwen, Group Inerane, Tamikrest, Bibi Ahmed, .... it's a whole genre-world. If possible attend a concert with Tuareeg Blues. It is soo good to listen to this music live! I've had the pleasure of being part of concerts with Tinariwen, Bibi Ahmed & Inerane. The music takes over your body, there is no helping it. :-D
this is a pleasant reminder that there is always new, good music
literally just saw these guys in providence and it was the craziest show ever. 11/10 would dance again
I have rarely felt this kind of intensity in new music. I am still in a state of shock to be honest. There's something extraordinary about this as an emerging genre but specifically about that group. Mind-blowing.
It's not emerging. These people have been playing this type of string music for hundreds of years. The only difference is the electric guitars and modern drums. The enslaved Africa Americans took this creativity in their DNA from Africa to invent Rock N Roll and all other modern genres of music in the Americas. They're one and the same people
Bhai king gizard and lizard wizard ke baad Turkish rock search karna fuse udd jayenge 😀
Zaroor bro❤❤👍🏿🙏🏿@@akshat_khare
Moctar is by some called the African Jimi Hendrix. Another left-handed genius on the guitar.
KEXP is great for doing their research and bringing artists like this on. This is awesome.
We saw M'dou Moctar at Jazz Fest and were blown away. Then, we noticed that they were on another stage later. Of course we went.
Wow. Just when you think the whole world is shit you stumble on something so beautiful.
Unexpected moment like this makes our life worth living.
What wondrous talent! I only hope that they are as widely known as they ought to be! ❤
I absolutely ADORE the KEXP as a platform where I can find a new music. Especially such a great treasures like this. I din't even mind that african surf really exists. And Mdou Moctar himself looks like he's from Tatooine (I mean a planet from a Star Wars univerce)
That guy that teaches his friend a few chords so he can solo for hours.
Lol
hahahahaha
that is my roommate. The accuracy of your comment is uncanny
Zappa called them
just another 'Mongolian String Bender'
But this guy can PLAY!
The energy in these dudes concerts must be magical I bet
I like how Mdou speaks english because not alot of musicians know english and im proud of him because we share the same language with him which is Amazigh language
Would you be able to translate what the first song is about? It sounds so happy and is my favorite!
Yes madou speak English Yes
Madou moctar dialogue speak tamasheq
Kel Tmashek
The guy with the white guitar absolutely shreds...without distortion or overdrive, it's like an Andy Summers clean chorused tone. Hope these guys get a lot of exposure, we so desperately need this type of music in the USA...there's too much shallow pop music with no depth. The drummer is great, too. Bravo !
what are you talking about? their amps obviously overdriven.
I'll click on any KEXP or Tiny Desk video, because you'll always get some really inspirational music. Artists seem to up their game on these performances.
I'd just like to add that AudioTree and especially the AudioTree FarOut series have many click worthy guests too.
I'll check some of that out on this sunny evening. Thanks man
I’m with you guys on all three. Check out Now, Now on audiotree live
Jam in the van is another good series to check out😊
Huge fan of KEXP from Johannesburg, South Africa. The number of incredible artists I’ve discovered through this platform can’t be underestimated. Mdou Moctar gotta be my favourite discovery though.
Its African Raga music with electric guitars. The Moroccans have this
with usually a cat playing a shredding melodies and arpeggios with a
violin positioned on a tall stool so they
can play like a stand up acoustic bass. Lots of 6/8 and triple meter stuff
with call and response vocals between a man and a woman.
The audiences participate. All over the Middle East this is going on in underground
music venues. Some great Heavy Metal bands in Suadi Arabia in Jedda in basement teen clubs.
That sounds like an amazing scene
That is some interesting information (:
Names and links pls, I wanna listen to stuff like that. (:
Can you give us some examples so we can listen pls?
Jacob AS Tinariwen and Tamikrest are pretty cool !
The amazing thing is that they only listened Hendrix for the first time in 2015, and they freak out cause they identified licks that they also played... It's great music . In Brazil we have something similar called CALDO DE PIABA, check it out
I want to say something about how amazing this is but I can't even find the words that do it justice.
what a killer performance. knew it was gonna be a burner from the moment he started tuning
Literally the Sultans of Swing
That white strat was fresh out of the box. It was so new the factory protective shipping film was still on the pick guard and had no marks on it. The neck and fretboard were spotless as well. It looks like he got a new axe for the gig.
Rusty Gears CBP probably confiscated his old one.
ok boomer
@@adrianflores7221 Brendan Schaub killed that meme dead recently. It was about time honestly.
Rusty Gears so new he’s worn a hole in the protective pickguard plastic, maybe he just doesn’t whack the shit out of his guitar...
From the poorest country on Earth comes such positive and uplifting music. This man is an AMAZING guitar player.
The dexterity and fluidity of playing on display here is a beyond incredible. What a dude.
Big shout out to KEXP for introducing me and countless more to incredible music. Finding new and interesting music is one of the best feelings there is, so thanks you so much!!
Just discovered Mdou Moctar at Jazz Fest in NOLA. WOW is all you can say. This man is next level talented. Like a cross between Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. Mdou makes the guitar talk. It was special to witness live.
me too
just saw him at solid sound.
wow wow wow 🤩
EVH? How...
فن أبناء وأحرار الصحراء الكبرى
Mdou Moctar on lead guitar! Ahmoudou Madassane on 2nd guitar! Aboubacar Mazawadje on drums! and Mike on the bass!
ok one of these things is *really* not like the others lol
He's good though! I wonder if he was recruited specifically for the US tour or if he's a regular member. They might have picked him up specifically for a hint of 'American rock', or maybe just because the bass can follow along and be solid and unobtrusive.
Maybe their bass player couldn’t get a visa
Are they from Algeria?
3 of them are strings and 1 is percussion. Is that the odd one out? The drums?
Mike the bassist is adopted by them as their 4th brother.
Shreds the fuck out of his Strat but never bothered to remove the pick-guard plastic... legit.
was lucky enough to see these guys passing through my small uni town. they're unreal, such a great sound

thank u
I love this band so much!! Just randomly discovered them today on RUclips and it's very exciting! I've been a bit bored with rock music the last ten years! What a palette cleanser these guys are! The drummer is a beast and the fact that they're from Nigeria makes it so much cooler! I can't stop smiling.
@patrons of freedom Merci beaucoup 👌🥰💗
@patrons of freedom that's cool to know ! Thanks man !!!
They are from NIGER not Nigeria.
I've never seen anyone play guitar quite like that. His phrasing is insane.
if i let myself go with my feelings about this wonderful group, i will get gushy, so suffice to say that i've listened to the whole set at least 10 times in the last 2 days, and it gets better with each listening: so many amazing things to discover; thank you KEXP...thank you, thank you...
Just saw these guys in Minneapolis. Mind-blowing skill and passion. About to see Tinariwen at the same venue!
I don't know, it's somehow magic, it kept me in front of the screen for the whole video, although I was thinking first of only watching 2-3 songs. I can't even describe how much I like it and how it reverberates with me. It's like back to the roots of guitar, the essence, the "what it should really be about", but I don't just like Mdou, this is the thing - Iove the whole rest of the band, the bass player is amazing, so balanced and creative, the 2nd guitar is so exact and gives a lot more colour to the band and what can I say about that restless drummer, he's just from another dimension! I've just discovered them randomly a few days ago, with a gig in the dessert, in front of some kids and some adults (and that was absolutely amazing!) and I am already a huge fan! Wow! This is like a revolution, like a ray of light in this cloudy sad, boring and not at all original music we have on mainstream media today. I wish we could live another '60-'70 kind of musical revolution, like Ravi Shankar did with Harrison. Why not another one started by Mdou Moctar? Or maybe, as a planet we aren't cultural and smart enough anymore to embrace it?
This kind of music is all I’ve been listening to for the past six months!
The DJ seems so excited that he was kind losing words.
i surrender to this music and im happy
I sometimes wonder who these folks are that give things like this a thumbs down. I just returned from a performance here in New Orleans that I would call incendiary. Not quite the same band but it was uncanny the way he & his rhythm guitarist locked into a groove.
Supposedly there are bots on RUclips which go around hitting the dislike at random, which is the only explanation for some of them. This one isn't as obvious (though it sure doesn't deserve a thumbs-down to say the least) but when I'm seeing videos of cute little animals and there's five thousand likes and two hundred thumbs down, all I can think is 'bots'.
This guy is singing through his fingers.. Amazing guitaring.. Amazing band.. Love from India..
many people sometimes say for many guitarist to "oh that guy is new jimi hendrix" but he is obviously new jimi hendrix. that things are certainly a revolution of guitar playing
This is music for the soul🔥I now banish sadness and grief with the power of love😑🙏♥️
The guitar skills are nuts..african sound with arabic sounding vocals, sick.
this is not rock, and not arabic vocals, this is purely north african music called Gnawa, Takamba and Magoni and the language used in the song called tamazigh, the language of north africa, it's very very old language, the onley new thing they did to this style of music is using the modern instruments instead of traditional instruments, this style of music is very old and apparently this style is the ancestor of rock blues music.
ruclips.net/video/DHcD4p7lkN4/видео.html
this link shows the Takamba style using tradisionnal instrement no electric guitar and and the style of jimi hendrix is similar to this style.
@@maometus thanks for the info.
@@rschmidtzalles
You are welcome
Mohammed Moussaoui Thank you, Mohammed, for your wealth of information
Mohammed Moussaoui thanks for the link 🙏
Imagine Mdou Moctar and Jimi Hendrix on one song, that's definitely a cure for Coronavirus, more than enough melody to send you to heaven and back. Also check out Ali Farka Toure (Tuareg as well) if you want to complete your process of being blown away.
Beautiful, Amazing, !! Fresh ! This is music with soul and true musicians !!! Bravo 🙌
Moctar is absolutely incredible, but let’s give some respect to the rhythm section as well 🔥
That was bloody brilliant, no need for excessive pedal use but I would love to see this guy with a big muff and wah pedal
that guy looks so cool, the outfit and the guitar match perfectly
Mdou Mctar is a force to be reckoned with. His music is a nice mix of his own with Fender Strat and a fabulous drummer
As soon as the guitar riff started I was hooked 😍
This guy could basically play thunderstruck without a guitar pick.
And 'The best of times' with his eyes close
What's a rebellion with out rock music? Thanks for breathing new life into the desert with these jams guys! Beautiful.
These guys are the real deal! House rocking all night long.
Possibly the best 44 minutes of my life 😎😎
This is wonderful and mystical at the same time. What a time to be a music listener!
Such a data acting drummer to listen he sounds so comfortable and confident
New fan here, from Mexico!! Fantastic music!
Amazing flow of music just from three kind of guitars and drums..Unbelievable delivery...They have proven that Quality has no boundry..Tranquility is vibrating us in music form..
A master of a Fender Strat of, dare I say, Hendrix proportions. And the band are tight as too! Exceptional
This is amazing! I Just can't stop listening to these guys! Congrats from Brazil!
An awesome music. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Rock is international. No stopping now
Hello Mikey Coltun of Les Rhinoceros! Hats off to this band!
The drumming is off the charts cool.
Just WOW! I really respect and enjoy this band so much! Love from Senegal
🇸🇳🇸🇳
When you open your heart you'll see we are all the same. God calls us human.
no se puede dejar de escuchar, precioso realmente
What a musical combo!! Saharan blues😋🤗 Love from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇪🇷 You should come to Winnipeg one day people will love your stuff
KEXP has helped me find so many good artists I otherwise never would have. THANK YOU KEXP!
It's like my brain is being cleaned.
These guys paint pictures with their instruments
Saw them at Winnipeg Folk Festival 3 weeks ago. They are superb and what a stage presence, true rock star.
My mind is blown, breath of fresh air. Thank you
I WILL GIVE EVERYTHING TO WATCH THIS BAND LIVE
Absolutely the most impressed I've been with a guitarist since SRV. Damn.
come on man
@@Sam-et3ve lol
Yes, nice and all, but...
For this style try: Khruangbin.
You won't regret it.
Amazing artist wonderful and winding guitar techniques absolutely beautiful.
So pleasantly surprised to click on this link, this music was memorizing. Thank you for posting this!
We all love Mdou Moctar❤❤❤✌
this guy is a smoke show on the strings!!!!!! Amazing!!
