    If this performance doesn’t convince you to see Mdou live…can’t believe how lucky I was to see him last year at a small pub in regional Australia, 100-200 people there. The energy was insane, he had everyone dancing, and closed his set out with this song - sometimes leaving the stage to shred in amongst the crowd. One of the best gigs of my life for sure. 🤘

      I guessed it the first time I saw this video. Now I can't wait the moment I will see Mdou in real. I know he will be in Paris in august, actually going there is the main goal of my life.

    These 4 were put on this planet to make music together. No doubt. The rhythm guitarist doesn't get nearly enough love, that dude is doing some HEAVY lifting. I've noticed that the bass player finds a lot of super creative grooves and he sits in the pocket beautifully, but he isn't really providing harmony the way we're used to hearing bass players do in typical rock bands.. Which is actually a really cool thing, because it opens up this lane for the rhythm guitarist to really take the reigns and give all of the melodic flourishes that we're hearing some thunder.. some harmonic depth.. It's really interesting, because he's basically doing what we hear bass players do in rock music.. except he's doing it on rhythm guitar. So on top of being that centerpiece for the harmony, he's also providing some punk rock-esque textures. Man I'm so into this right now, this is LEGIT. so glad this was recommended.

      Mdou Moctar is easily my favorite to come out of this sahara rock scene. That being said, all art is derivative in nature. Don't mistake you not being familiar with their inspirations as them being wholly unique and original. There's a saying in certain art circles, "Originality is the practice of hiding your influences", and what is more hidden than an entire world of music we straight up don't get in the west

    This is incredible. Really love these guys. The band is killing it with great originality and passion. Would love to see what this would be like with a Tele. When he goes to the bridge pickup, the Strat just falls over and sounds weak. You can see him turn every knob up to try and get the level back up and then has to bend over to turn up the pedal. If it was a Tele, it would be like unleashing a caged pit bull.

    • @johnhennessey5
      @johnhennessey5 10 месяцев назад +3

      I did notice him bending over to adjust the pedal after he turned it on and noticed it wasn’t enough.
      BUT to counter your tele argument, the bridge pickup was used the entire time and it sounded great when it was clean.
      So maybe he just needs an extra boost pedal or adjust his fuzz(?) pedal to give it a lil more oomph than normal
