The drummer.... fantastic

Every time I watch this guy I am blown away! Every….single…time!

This guy learned how to play on a self made guitar with bicycle cables for strings. No joke.

Yeah; he said he found an old board and unwrapped the brake cables. I'm reminded of Jack White's comment at the beginning of "It Might Get Loud" -- "Who says you gotta BUY an electric guitar?"

@@joeldcanfield_spinhead Except that's sort of the "story" White created around himself. It's fine, and technically true. It inspired me about 10 years ago, but then when you see the real thing, it sort of cheapens the deal with White. Sahara Rock is something to really fall in love with!

I've seen a guy who just put a wooden slat in a small oil canister and put on some wires on it .. nearly the same happened in Mali hundreds of years ago .. an they say the guitar came originally from there ..

Mdou Moctar has the most absolutely insane picking I've ever seen. This beautiful man has more speed in his index finger than most could pull off with alternate picking in full tilt wrist-breaker mode

that drummer is so good nice pace

This song, "Afrique Victim", belongs to the new album Afrique Victim. Great song.

That drummer is freakin awesome. Skins so loose he can feel the wind from them. AWESOME !

Just mad talent. What a gift that we can enjoy this here in North America.

The irony of calling Mdou to "PICKfest" 😄. Great guitarist

Immense love from Sudan for this incredible performance

It is love in my ears. That is what I hear when Mdou Moctar play.

We all love Mdou Moctar...and the rest of the band ofcourse!

A very smooth guitar sound, apperantly mdou not only knows his way round melody but also sound, excellent choice of gear a strat with a sustaniac pick up on the neck plugged into a roland jazz chrous amp, shows he avoided the shrillness that could have showed as he is playing quite high up in the neck, kudos , top musician!

This guys play music coming from deep in the Sahara...it is a soul music...music of Wind and sands...

I read a comment once saying that Mdou is the celebration of life and music. 🎉

O riff base dessa música é facilmente reconhecimento entre um solo e outro. A energia dançante dessa música marca a sua mensagem. Fantástico!

Best part? The audience is actually enjoying the music instead of staring into their phones as they record it and barely pay attention!

In a nutshell, the lyrics are about how Africa as a continent and its people are victims to many crimes, and the people must speak out against them to avoid their own destruction. The song is called Afrique Victime, you can check out the official video on Mdou's channel which has the full translation.

love these guys

Great music and fantastic players!

Dig the music, love the back story too! great fret work. A few sessions with someone like Richard Thompson or Knopfler would really blow up the music world.

Actually he is also the producer of this band. From Mdou Website Producer & bassist Mikey Coltun flies 20 hours from Brooklyn, NYC, then takes a 28 hour bus ride to reach Agadez so the band can practice and record. With no support from a major label or a manager, they made this journey out of Niger every time they toured. In the past three years, Mikey’s played over 500 shows on three continents as Mdou Moctar’s bassist, road manager, producer/recording engineer, and friend. Coltun recorded and produced Afrique Victime around the band’s travels in 2019- in studios, apartments, hotel rooms, venue backstages, and in field recordings in Niger.

No one out there as brilliant as Mdou👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋

AWESOME!!!!!!

Reminds me of where Jimi was venturing.

Glad i found them

Great performance.

@@skyrothman8651 How is this getting them money when it makes them unpopular and everyone just clicks off anyway. On television they have commercial breaks, which is okay. But my point is that in this context it's intrusive and there is an option to skip add (which I imagine everyone does). Do some people actually stop what they're watching to watch the add? Should be illegal just like nuisance phone calls.
