Apparently, Hendrix was experimenting with ethnic/tribe/African sound and discovered Tuareg and African music...Who knows..Remember "Voodoo child"..After all..Hendrix was African American and we know that life on this planet came from Africa..Good comment tho, Marcus,...I am 60yo and I easily relate to it ..
This isn't rock please stop categorizing everything as rock white people!! Rock did not move to Africa , it came from blacks, just like most music did.
@@peteythomas9022 sorry it is a reference. it reminds me of some music that is very familiar. now i understand where the music was born that ended up in my country :)
What a beautiful vortex to be caught in. These guys are amazing. Let's hope the world stops playing games so that bands like this can finally have their day in the sun.
Well said, if more people would ditch petty differences about religion, national identity and share more postive energy, music can really unify humanity among other things.
I wish too, but mankind is in such deep spiritual crisis that we allowed them, the parasites, to infiltrate our minds and souls, every cornice of our lives - and to prepare everything for the onslaught we experience currently. I am not negative, just dry. But as we know "...hard times create good strong humans....". We are one family of man and we have to come back to a basic spiritual knowledge - There is always a harmonic way. I call it the "harmonics of creation" - not that source creates these harmonics - they come into effect by the structure of anything that exists, as any shape or form has to discriminate all other possibilities of structure in order to manifest And there is simply a best way to achieve a structure - simply existing as a choice to be made. We, us the people, have to come to terms that it's rather wise that the harmonic way is by far the best. The coming time we will endure a test, a very severe one. I hope that many of us have common sense left in them and simply start to collaborate without need for money, competition and all the other inventions of the rat race. Happy Hug. Love is the Healing and We are the Cure.
Hello! i am thinking of this for a long time now, in the karadeniz province of Turkey and other regions, there are very similar melodies to celtic melodies and as a bonus people in karadeniz region used to wear skirts both men and woman! and they play an instrument called "tulum" which is the same as bagpipes! celtic people used to live in anatolia in the middle ages too, so somewhere we cross paths.
@@mete1099 From what little historical knowledge I know, skirts for men in Scottish culture is a pretty recent thing(17th century), so I'm not too sure if the skirts in Türkiye are related to Scotland. Anyway, I never knew there were such similar melodies and instruments! I'm sure there must have been some cultural exchanges or branching that made that possible. Thank you so much for sharing!
I was right next to you at this show. I remember noticing how great a job you did of catching Mdou's hands! I think I commented on it. Thanks for sharing this!
Hats off to the drummer too! Saw them in Leeds a while back and I haven't seen anyone hit those drums like that since Keith Moon or Bonzo. Absolute machine!
The guitar is a strange instrument. Everytime you think that all is said and done, someone new comes along and plays like you never heard before. Mdou Moctar is the 21. century Jimi Hendrix!
@@alexanderkubyshkin858 i wonder if he is really a left hander or he just learned to play guitar like hendrix lefthandedly :D because he seems like a huge fan, white strat, style of playing and lefthanded wielding doesn't look like a coincidence to me xd
Heh, I see you follow my habit of discovering a new band you really like and finding out you just missed them. They were here exactly a month ago. I ended up not being able to go to that show at the last minute due to family stuff sadly.
This is mystical music. It’s origins are in a combination of mystical folk and Islamic Sufi songs/ music /chants hence the deep penetrating message of the guitar sound. It’s meant to be enjoyed but mainly to effect deep religious fervour and state in the listener through somber melody and message. This style as I said is mainly Sufi which was quite common until lately in many Muslim countries like Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Northern Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Algeria etc. There is always a sort of sadness to this kind of music despite one enjoying it. Traditionally this genre is played in religious ceremonies in praise of good virtues, praise outstanding social religious figures etc with the aim of imparting religious habits etc. This you listen to Islamic folklore music from Thos regions you will see what o am talking about. Quite a few videos from Mali on RUclips which can give you a glimpse of this, mainly women ensembles. Unfortunately there isn’t much of the music I am talking about in record form from areas Somalia and Ethiopia which was quite rich in this type of music upto the 80s when the newer generation of western influences style sort of ushered it out. But still quite common in Mali. So basically if you ask anyone who knows he’ll confirm the origins of these so powerful melodies as Islamic religious songs. Ali Farka attested indirectly to this in one of his videos when he said that these songs were not meant for beer, or scotch whisky etc but serious states. They instill higher and deep “metaphysical states” , (hence some people get a feeling of wanting to cry when listening without a reason). Listeners in Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan would see no difference in this type compared to their version. The thing is this genre has not been looked as deserves and has basically stopped as being labelled as blues but I have just told you it’s source . So next time you listen to rock music know where it comes from. That also explains why rock music is quite different from pop music.. Rock music has that same mystical effect from the guitar riffs melodies which is from “blues”. Blues meaning western definition of its origins but actual genre is African Islamic . Of course there are many other music from different cultures that does similar thing. If you’d ask Moctar he would definitely confirm his influence as would many singers from Mali etc like Diabate, Bagayoko etc. In Mali the religious link is quite deep and still very much alive. Easy to get into a trance from them.
Well said. I’ve recently gotten into the Tuareg rock genre and as a Somali, I’ve felt an indescribable familiarity with this music. Makes sense now, it’s the Sufi mysticism.
Just an incredible talent. I think the comparisons to Hendrix, however well intentioned are based on the superficial. The music is very foreign to me and obviously the lyrics are indecipherable but the the rhythms are universal and uplifting. Spiritual might be a better word. I would just say that there is no need for comparison. Enjoy the unique spirit. One of the most uplifting hours I can recall.

The issue was that I only had a single camera and a 70mm zoom. So it was either this or nothing. I did try getting the other members but didn't have a good angle on them or they were unlit by the stage lights.
@@OliverHarris1 yeah, it's usually why I don't ever shoot single-camera anymore. This show I wasn't planning on recording, but had my camera to take photos and my friend was there recording the audio...so I just compulsively started recording knowing I had the audio covered.
In almost every song i can recognize the immensly precious music of Abdallah except that he changed the lyrics. How do we call this : PLAGIARISM ? RIP Abdallah who deserves so much better from his people he defended at heart using music as a weapon to unite his people in peace. Please be true to your people and to Abdallah s memory !
And to the producers please defend music and musicians. Someone s music can t be stolen ! What a disgrace ! Please pay that tribute to Abdallah, desert rebel and his musicians, @Hamawassa (Abdallah s guitarist). Have a look at the movie shot by French film maker François Bergeron and listen to the album they recorded all together "les rockeurs du désert" . This is where it all comes from and this is the music that should play on and on to remember that the desert is nobody's but it belongs to the ones who live there.
If religion poison everything, how could these Muslims men be damn good. Islam appreciate arts & music so much, as long as won't lead humanity to destruction.
How about showing the entire band, instead of making an instructional video to copy his guitar style. This band is too good to not show everyone. It's obvious what you're doing.
Er no....I had one camera and didn't have a long zoom, nor could I move around since we were all packed in on the floor. Normally I do multi camera but this wasn't an option since folks weren't available to help me out.
