Live in Niamey, Niger.
In winter 2020, the Mdou Moctar band met up in Niamey, the capital of Niger, to record a few songs in anticipation of the release of, Afrique Victime. We were staying on the outskirts of town at a friend's home. One day, we quietly set up in front of the house to film a few songs. Despite our relative isolation, the noise of the band inevitably attracted a crowd. What started as the four of us simply playing a few songs for a camera turned into a three-night run of rowdy concerts, bringing in hundreds of eager listeners. Each night, kids from all over the city would line up at our door, rushing over after their final evening prayer. These performances were completely spontaneous and wholly unplanned. Thanks to our audience, we were able to capture the spectacular energy of a typical Niamey concert for you. We're thrilled about it and hope you will be, too. Enjoy!

have absolutely no idea how the YT algorithm thought this would be a good recommendation but here we are, what a gem
If you watched anything on the KEXP channel, you have your answer ;)
yeah i dont give a fk they must have paid some money
hahahaha. I've come from chinese reggae. My girl just ask me, from nowhere... If i've ever listened to Chinese Reggae. And them, i'm here, and glad hahahaha.
And chinese reggae is awesome too.
that efn drummer didn't miss a single beat the whole night
he is an absolute technician on the kit. steller player
Was thinking that also and he has the drum adjuster in his mouth😂. Dudes a machine
bassist is awesome too with that smal F musicman bass
For a yard concert, the audio quality is astounding. I love this.
creates a natural reverb, just delicious.
This yard concert was made with love, my friend, that's te reason.
well, as you can see in the video, everything is close-miced. the audio was recorded live at the performance and then re-mixed for this video. so what you're hearing isn't what it sounded like on the night in that physical space.
yeah with some reverb in it@@charlesandhisworld
Could be from original soundboard recording. Sounds superior .
Man that drummer is class...as a composer myself I will always have a moment to listen to these dudes. They get the juices flowing inside your soul...beautiful... if you ever get writers block...just put this band on for a spell...best medicine. Problem solved.🤟
Yeah the drummer is a machine😂.
I'm 87 Y/o as of 3 days ago and after listening to this, I still feel 87 but the music was just incredible.
😢
❤❤❤you're cool ❤❤❤
Most 87yr old people are stuck up and look down on us from their noses ❤❤❤
You gotta cool soul ❤❤❤
Take care brother
Let the music transport you, and God bless you
congrats!!! you’re a legend!!! 🙏🏼🖤 wish you as many more years as you desire partner
87 but talk like a millennial.
😂 I respect it but you’re full of shit.
Can we please say thank you to the TH-cam algorithm that brought us here to be able to listen to this phenomenal band? These guys are absolutely amazing!
Y vaya que que si se le tendria que agradecer a ese algoritmo, jamas hubiese conocido y sabido de esta banda... gracias mil
The frequency will find you. Timeless rhythm, from the heart and not the head, nor from the ego. Is a narrow, yet strong signal.
Tottaly agree!! Qué buena música, gracias TH-cam!
I'll say it AGAIN. Thank you TH-cam algorithms 🕊
100% - usually I get garbage recommended. This is great stuff!
Unbelievably brilliant. The drummer is on another level the Bass player is a groove machine the Rhythm guitar is extremely supportive and tight and the lead guitar is so different from western music, the melody lines are so unexpected and fresh I was honestly blown away .
Maybe the most original sound I’ve heard in a very long time.
I may be behind the ball on this as this was 2 years ago but I’m so glad I found this music … thank you.
It just got recommended to me too
Look into older Ethiopian funk/psychedelic if you haven’t before. You’re in for a treat. Pretty rich tradition there and in west Africa generally
He has a new album coming out. And yes the drummer is a machine😂. Great band all around, tight.
@@informationsuperkhanvery true about the West African guitar music. Goes back to the 60s. Very rich and deep rabbit hole
Amazing!! The children are clapping in 6/8 on the first tune. They get it.
No but what's so interesting is they're not. There's a 3/2 polyrhythm going on. The band is playing to a 3 feel (which you could categorize as 6/8 but shouldn't because the drummer and bass are playing complete units in the span of 3 pulses, so it's really 3/4) - but they are stamping their feet (and the kids are clapping) to a feel that fits 2 claps in that same space. So band plays in 3, kids clap in 2. For me, and I think a lot of American / European musicians, it's a groove that I can definitely enjoy but might have trouble dancing/clapping to! For folks raised in a West African or North African musical context (it happens alot in Morocco Gnawa music as well), this is a fundamental groove. I think what's coolest is that the 3 lays down the fundamental beats, and the 2 is actually the pattern that creates the groove by riffing off the foundation in a syncopated fashion. So what these kids are intuitively engaging with is the more interesting of the two options!
Not trying to be annoying or rude, just saw your comment and it made me want to discuss.

Bassist is absolutely phenomenal, laying it down like a rug the entire jam. What a legend

I enjoyed this. I love the Internet, when I was a kid I would have never had a chance to see music from all over the world so easily.

Don't be shocked when 5 years from now those kids in the audience have gone on to pick up instruments and form a psychedelic rock scene in Niamey who collectively views this series of shows as their very own version of the Sex Pistols playing at Lesser Free Trade Hall. Keep inspiring the world guys!
totally felt the same way. I mean how could this NOT deeply impact at least ONE kid? you have this guy here in his rockstar black outfit and gold watch with matching black strat... it's the stuff of legend.
I think Mdou Moctar is a big inspiration for sure! They've a very interesting sound. I wonder what they will do next.
You are so delusional. They have no money for food but they are going to make a band, ok dude... 🤣👌
@@Ulexcool You sound like a fun person to be around! Sure throw insults at me for seeing a good thing happening. Didn't say they need all kinds of gear and equipment. I'm pretty sure Mdou Moctar initially started using traditional drums and an acoustic guitar, and many places rife with poverty still find ways to create compelling artistic expressions. Keep being miserable.
I think part of the deal with that show was that they were "inspiring" with their attitude, but everyone in the audience had the sense "That's not so hard, I can do that, and probably better than those idiots on stage" and lots of them were exactly right. I wold love it if these shows inspire a new Joy Division/New Order, but it would be in a different, more directly positive way.
You guys are doing something magical. Don't be surprised if this caused an impact on a kid that will surely form a band later; this changes so many lives you have no idea
👍👍👍👍
Its how I started....truth in that statement. Been drumming for 30_years now
@@Centerpieceofmindwhat band or musician did you see that made you want to play? Just curious friend.
Absolutely.
They created the idea `weird saying no idea
From a Venezuelan nobody this is sooooooo good such a breeze of fresh air
You're not a nobody, go kick some ass bro
@VisiblyJ.???????????acked
🇲🇦💚❤vamooos 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not sure a Venezuelan somebody is a good thing.
Something about this makes me tear up at times. How proud they must’ve felt to play this music to their people and for them to actually show enjoyment back by dancing and smiling is such a beautiful thing.
Beautiful stuff. My mother lived in Niamey for about a year, a year and a half. One of the poorest countries in Africa and by extension one of the poorest in the world. Before she passed away, she shared how oppressive the desert environment can be, and yet how incredibly the culture of the people is and their perseverance through the harsh environment that is simply not built for sustaining life, and yet it does. Amazing video.
Yes it is
that must have been an eye opening experience to hear. your comment about their culture and the environment was beautifully stated. this is unbelievably unreal music to really *hear and watch* - i feel privileged to hear this music in my lifetime
Same here. This music is unique. That was awesome.
Imagine being at the edge of the village and hearing this amazing music filling the air ,,,,,
I’d come running
I'd run away. This is terrible noise
define amazing
@@user-ov3tu8ir3h How many back yard rock bands do you think those kids get to hear? I think I'd be amazed to hear it echoing down dusty alleys..
They’re not even in a village, this is the capital city lmao.
Music has no racial divides, no boundaries. It's a universal language anyone can easily understand.
That drummer is incredible doing accents post double snare and his overheads aren't too crispy .
This drummer is off the charts good.
He's a genius
He’s good he’s not genius level.
@@End-Resultyou listen to Crass. Why are you here? Lol why am I ? I’m just messing around.
He’s got incredible finesse!
That Bass tho
The woman that started to dance at 5:00 put a smile on my face. That's how you should respond to music, listen to your body, absorb the sound into your spine.
Insanely tight rhythm section. This band is phenomenal.
Praying 4 Peace In Niger.
Love From Goa (India).
That rhythm section is BAD ASS.
Kind of hypnotic. That drummer is killing it. Some of those guitar riffs sound almost celtic. Very cool.
yea, almost sounds like a mix of sitar and bag pipes or something, sick af
The leader guy plays like Hendrix Knopfler rolled into one. Getting major classic rock vibes. Drummers killing it with just a hat and a crash.
I can definitely hear bagpipe phrases right through this music
Wow Celtic......wow the human race is so connected,. Didn't think to break down what I was hearing.
@@furrymonkeything you can hear a little Ska in the rythym of some of the songs too
Yes !! A woman is dancing !!
Samba( Brazil), reggae (Jamaica) and blues (USA) are african based music from America. From Cape Town to Gibraltar there's a whole continent of culture and art.
These are the LITERAL Sultans of Swing
Lmfaoo good one
Yeah Man! What a ggod Band!
yes they are
😉
original
This is so refreshing!
3 nights of spontaneous music for the people who live in the neighborhood where the band was staying just before their tour started. People would hear them rehearsing and ‘just show up’ - no press release, no media.
Just because they were drawn by the music?
THAT IS THE POWER OF GREAT LIVE MUSIC!
You can only live for moments like 40:48 when all kids start dancing around your music. Just a vibe, I love it so much
Why aren't these guys headlining a world tour!? I don't know what they are saying but they JAM!
I mean, they are currently on a world tour?
This drummer is on fire. Totally jamming. Really enjoyed it!
He's so sick!
Just listened to the studio version. It's beautiful in a different way, but it's missing the groove of this legend on the drums.
Yes, very tight, precise.
he's tight...but its the same beat for every song
fucking slays
Bro got the village jumping!! Hendrix would love this performance🫡.
That's the same thing I thought the minute I saw him
We got to see these guys live in Greenfield Massachusetts last weekend! They melted my brain in the best way possible! Awesome!
Phenomenal. And I grew up on Jimi Hendrix but this is just a whole nother kind of cool. Beautiful language. He made his first guitar out of used piano strings and pieces of wood. His new album it's going to be awesome. I believe it was mostly recorded in New York state. He truly wants to help Aftica
Imagine being one of these kids and this happens in your neck of town. Absolutely awesome!
Oh man I'd be in there jumping and dancing too!
I can bet you a few new musicians were born that day!
The groove they achieve is incredible, they are excellent musicians, and what I like most is that it sounds like their culture like a rock band, and that gives it a richness that we don't usually hear. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Folk rock. A merger of old and new. And in this case a merger of east and west.
Tezeta
@@raevenparker929 thank you. It's called Tezeta. I did not know. I thumbs downed myself lol
I came here totally by coincidence and found something extra special. Big thanks to Mdou Moctar.
Im sure im repeating someone else's sentiments, but music really is a universal language. I have zero idea what he's saying, but that doesn't matter. I like this music, and that's enough

Idk how I discovered Mdou Moctar but they are just elite. Have no clue what theyre saying, but the music transcends language.
there was so much joy with the kids dancing. what a brilliant, electric, unique experience for everyone there. i feel lucky to have watched this band - such an experience!
I love the one lady starting the dance and showing its ok to really take on the full experience of this music!!
For real, I cry every time I watch it
@@JonChacko omg i thought i was the only one hahah
That little kid in the front is definitely inspired! He wants to be a drummer. This will leave a mark on him forever.
Yesssss! That's a drummer in the making... he will probably start off with pots and pans and the neighbours tin roof... hope he gets his hands on some proper kit soon...he needs it!
No
Just proves that funk is universal
Stumbled across this somehow. The beautiful music & the people dancing brought a tear to my eye. Power to Niger, power to the people.🖤
Just awesome! The drummer is soooo tight. Bass is laid down with ease. I can't understand a word he's saying but the guitar speaks a language we all know. Fantastic!
I saw this incredible band at a small bar in the French Quarter in NOLA during Jazzfest '19. my ears are still ringing.

My thoughts, exactly..
First song:
My love no matter where I go
You're always on my mind
I treasure you
You know I never want to see you in tears
I used stones to write your name in a heart
Water can never wash it away because it's surrounded by trees
You know I never want to see you in tears
Your laugh pleases me
I adore your eyes and body shape
My love no matter where I go
You're always on my mind
I treasure you
You know I never want to see you in tears
Beautiful song,it just goes to show that in all cultures…we ALL want the same things!!!Thank you for the translation✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
What is the language they’re singing?
@@JL-eq1ufnot 100% sure, but I think it’s Tuareg.
this song already made me feel emotional but now that I know the lyrics I can't stop crying... I love my wife
This is what life is all about right here. Just pure vibes ✨️
Given the appalling, corporate, formulaic state of mainstream western music Africa looks to me like being the seat of a revival of all that was exciting and innovative musically.
These guys will inspire thousands of young people to pick up instruments and form real bands. Great stuff! The lady dancing to the first track sets the mood brilliantly.
Lol the music business like any other business have been always like that , it's nothing new. Today these musicians have tools to their disposal to bypass that, TH-cam is great at that.
You're just not looking in the right places.
@@woiowoiow190 this is what I tell anyone when they say something ridiculous like “todays music sucks” or anything Lillie that.
@@WhiteNucklin I know it can sound a little over rated but to be honest, that very music may even exist within you, you just have to look deep.. that's all I'm saying.
I am a 63 Black American living in Chicago, and I must say, Mdou Moctar is very impressive!
Lord I was born a ramblin watusi man.tryin to do the best that I can. Man I heard alman brothers in there for a bit.
The drummer is FN sick! He could be the best metal drummer on earth if he chose.

Not all heroes wear capes...thank you!😊
The talent is off the charts here, from the song writing to the playing and singing. As a hobby drummer, I am blown away by this guy laying down the beats with such precision. We never ask What missing ride cymbal? or What missing floor tom? This guy rules his beloved kit with complete presence. He is, heart and soul, a fantastic drummer. I know the young lad in the front row at 13:50 feels the very same.
first thing I really appreciated about the rhythm section in this band is their unique way of using 3/4...it's really comfortable and not as waltzy as im used to hearing... super cool
Sitting listening to this in New Zealand. Visited Niamey way back. Thank you for this burst of nostalgia. West African music is mind blowing.
@@carterwagner6459 Yeah, good point. Didn't even realize it was in 3/4 until I read you comment. Just seemed like a very insistent beat to me. I wonder if 3/4 would feel more natural if I had grown up listening to this music.
Are you implying that he’s missing those bits because he can’t afford them? That’s pretty reductive. This band has toured the world. I highly doubt he’s missing those out of necessity
@@mitchgirard4573 Seems very telling of the era we live in where compliments delivered with sincerity are subject to this level of scrutiny. I spoke of things he does not need, and you question why I might see the glass half empty.
I just zoomed right into it and man. These guy are good! The bass and drumwork sound great. The guitar riffs are very interesting and rhythmical. It has an ecstatic feeling to it. I feel my mind dancing.
That first girl started to dance. A true soul
I'm dancing with your audience!!
Very cool sound!!
From Japan.
Gorgeous...and like many others here...I'm feeling very emotional listening to this...my eyes filled with tears and I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it's because their music feels like a celebration of life and humanity. Whatever it is, it's beauty beyond words.
it's because its real, its authentic and most of what you're exposed to isn't
@@debaucherizer speak for yourself
@@asdf2593I think they just meant in general, like most stuff that is played on popular radio
Probably because you're a white liberal and these people are black and therefore you feel as if you have to have a greater appreciation of what they do in order to be a good liberal

Years ago Mdou moctar was one of those kids dancing, that inspired him to make his first guitar from bike strings, look at him now ! Easy rule but hard to do : dream and make it happen.

Hypnotic rhythms. I love modern African music.

Drums are insanely good, bass fits perfectly, guitars have a great tone. Very original sounds too. Algorithm really cooked with this one
Nothing like a strat with clean reverb. Makes my brain feel like it’s surfing the music.
That drummer killed it. Reminds me of George Hurley from the Minutemen.
swear to god I thought the guitar sounded like d Boon. all treble and twangy
The first thing I thought was it sounded a bit like Meat Puppets circa Up on the Sun. :)
The bass does an awesome job too, very innovative bass rifts that follow the drummer in lock step.

Is this the future of music, art and culture? Are we witnessing the renaissance spanning the great continent of Africa? It’s about time. All this phenomenal music we’re missing out on! This is heady and engulfing.
Yes.
All music, art and culture has its origins in Africa.
@lyrebird9749 can you explain the culture one? I'm aware that every mainstream music genre has roots from Africa, even country
@@Vyacheslavvvv Sure. Humans as a species evolved first in Africa. And the things we define as culture: language, singing, dancing, drumming, clothing, jewellery, weaving, drawing, cave painting, pottery, architecture, religion, science etc began in Africa.
Of course, as Homo sapiens. Homo neanderthalensis and other species left Africa they took skills and knowledge with them and further developed culture as they went. Different areas they settled in had different resources, and this heavily influenced how cultures developed - their diets, the materials they used for building or clothes, whether they were seafaring or not …
Political organisation was also highly influenced by geography. For example, Europe has many mountains which separated groups from each other, giving rise to many different languages and nations, while China is relatively flat with long rivers, permitting more trade, connections and uniformity. Also, in areas with abundant resources (eg. tropics) people tended to be more co-operative and laid back, while in colder or drier regions, groups tended to become more competitive.
BTW if you happen to be in the US, the Met Museum in NYC has an exhibition on now ‘The African origin of civilization’ which may interest you.

Also, in areas with abundant resources (eg. tropics) people tended to be more co-operative and laid back, while in colder or drier regions, groups tended to become more competitive.
If you happen to be in the US, the Met Museum in NYC has an exhibition on now ‘The African origin of civilization’ which may interest you.
Why did this bring me to tears? Haven't done that in a long time.. Thank you for the release.
Anyone else notice that left handed guitarists almost always have a very unique style and sound? This guy's playing is so different and COOL! And that rhythm section is awesome!
Thats because he is self taught My friend
Not only that but his micro soloing whilst singing is impressive \m/
i've never noticed this - do you have any other examples? this type of playing reminds me alot of khruangbin, but i don't make any connections between the handedness at all... it's rather influence and probably being self taught.
@@genesises None come to mind except Hendrix......lemme think about it......that must have been a tongue in cheek comment.....sorry.
@@genesises Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Tony Iommi, Albert King, just off the top of my head. All have a very distinct style.
Uma mistura de punk e rock progressivo. Amei o som! Sou uma cantora do Brasil 😊! Parabéns!
que sonzeira da porra
Eu sou baterista e estou numa felicidade de ver os som dessa banda. A alegria do publico, o lugar a qualidade das musicas e dos músicos. Tudo perfeito em um evento simples e solidário com as vitimas da guerra.
Por momentos en riffs de la guitarra tiene toque de cumbia amazónica hay un grupo de Perú qué se llama los mirlos no se si los han escuchado es solo una recomendación de música espero recomienden también ustedes hermanos brasileños la música nos une

He was born in Washington DC and traveled to Mali when he was only 20.
@@kwgtfg lol! Is that true? Reality is so weird.
Because everyone knows the bass can only be played by black people...?
