Mdou Moctar - "Afrique Victime (Live)"

- 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 (May 21st on Matador Records). 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!

Every player in this band is so unbelievably good. I've actually never heard someone play a conventional drumset like that.
That Drummer is No Joke, Legendary!
If you come afric youll see that they make rytm with all the people starthin 5 years old their music is all rhytm and melodic jumping but also feeling may come
And more.
@@Musicagine try to know. Never forget. Always in your head.
You bet.
YEah man!! What;s his name>
We ask God to liberate my region from ignorance, slavery, tribalism, corruption, tyranny, tyranny, and establish God’s law and the Sunnah of His Messenger.
The Soul of Jimi Hendrix floated to the Sahara
Reminds me of when Carlos Santana hit the American musical scene. Awesome!
jimmy hendrix of AFRICA
The soul of the Sahara floated to Jimi. Mali, Niger, the countries of the Sahel and the Tureg (probably spelled that wrong) peoples created the sound American blues came from.
That's right!!!@@mikequinlivan8842
Love from Barbados
It's been a while since I witnessed a rock star and their band, just plain and simple, killing it.
Fuck yeah
I straight up cried seeing them. Pure joy.
Best part was the 1st part of the set and all the kids broke out dancing so hard dust was everywhere. Pure bliss of music makes anywhere no matter the harsh world around , it will make you forget your troubles real quick .
❤
I thought the same exact thing. Of the 1,000 shows we did, one of the memorable ones I remember was an outdoor show where we got kids to come up on stage for a song. I was at the foot of the stage and saw the kids faces as they were walking down and the word 'bliss' is the perfect description.
@@vlada right, it was music at its finest. And that's really cool, what was your bands name and what kind of music did you guys play?
I love this!!
@@vladakeep rocking my friend!!
This band is so underrated. They are a rare gem and not enough people have heard them.
This is going to change real quick. They’r music is excellent.
Pro tip : watch movies on kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

@Cole Mayson Yup, been using flixzone} for years myself =)
@Cole Mayson Yea, have been using Flixzone} for years myself :D
The moment those kids started dancing ! Thanks for that
I love how much the tempo of this song changes from performance to performance. A real legit rock band.
One of the greatest living guitarist. Everyone needs to hear this music.
He should find a lead singer.
I love that woman just fully in her vibes dancing away, that's what I'm gonna do after work today :)
Just quit your job
Relaxing
Do it at work!!!

One of the most exciting performances I've seen in recent years, I love that there's no separation between band and audience, and the children are absolutely into it. I hope to see you guys live some day, much love from Argentina.
This bloke and his fantastic band are turning heads and eardrums around the world at present..African music is definitely on the big stage now!

Uma sonoridade própria , sinto uma verdade nas músicas.
This is the definition of Africa, pure energy. It's so nice to see all those children dancing and being happy despite they all probably live in powerty. Sometimes music is all you need.
calm down man...
we don't need whites saviors
@@michael-antoineassoumou6984 It's not a sin to help a person in a need, I don't care what skin color you are, it's great when you can help someone.
You can't find a better crowd than them lmao. This is the power of music, right here.
難解なようでシンプル。馴染みないようでなんか聴き覚えある。
かっこよい。
So fresh my dude, that guitar work is really good
Wish I could see these guys live! Much love from Los Angeles ❤️
No matter where you may live in this big rock luving earth music brings people together!!!
Que du love d'Algérie voisine !
Je vous ai découvert au Newport folk... vous avez jouer le meme jour que mon artriste préféré "Del water gap" !
Respect to that African sister who just don’t care but to dance 🤘🏾
I love the shots where all the youngsters are allowing that Queen to dance by herself... Juxtaposed with shots of all the children feeling the groove!
me too! love it
@@a.s.h.a118 i am going to see them in Chicago! Very excited!
@@BobbyGeneric145 that's awesome! Enjoy it :)
Thats the way she fuckin goes :D

This band deserves a stage at all times.
The genius of Mdou Moctar.
Mdou Moctar is his own genius. I tire of the comparisons to Hendrix. Mdou Moctar stands on his own. He is a true original.
大人と子供が分け隔てなく、存分にミュージックの一部となっている。これはアフリカのすごくいい、楽しいところだね！
When they start the mosh pit at 1:00 it's so dope. This is the best band I've heard this year, wish I'd discovered them sooner.
With solo guitar gradually disappearing from music in the last few years, it's really wonderful listen to this.
Not accurate.
Tuareg guitarists are the last hope 😢
from pop music yes i guess, but if you want solo guitar there's more stuff out there now than there ever was
Its rekindled in this part of the world.
its like argentinian people, best crowd ever, feeling the music, greetings from Copenhague
friendship between our countries ?
ես շշմած եմ․․․ Ոչ թե լավա, այլ ֆանտաստիկ լավ։ Տուարեգների գիթառը սատկացնումա, ինտերպրետացիան էլ շատ լավնա։ Մի օր արեք Հայաստան։ ❤️☘️❤️☘️
this is so powerful and beautiful i'm crying. No joke.

Half a world away, and this music still resonates and makes me love these people and this crowd. So wonderful.
What a powerful song! I don't understand the words but it made me want to dance and cry.
Im from the north Algeria and I understand what's he singing, amazigh is overall the same, beit Niger Mali Algeri Morocco
I am so glad that your sounds have found me Mdou. You have an experienced spirit my friend…..
Kinda sounds like a happy Crumbling Castle, I like it!
This is just wonderful. Mdou is amazing, and wow, that drummer!
Can't get over how good his guitar tone is. So acidic yet so warm
The most refreshing sound I've heard for years, greetings from Ireland 🙏
Why rock is inherently is us!!!! Africa Unite🌍 Just take a look at the youth enjoying! You just got your biggest fan of the diaspora peoples
This makes me so happy, ans also so sad (you know, for nostalgic reasons, remembering to come together for live music and dance around...seems like a distant memory).
Thanks for posting in your deep cuts email.
Mdou was definitely born with a purpose and now he is living it
And he will inspire countless others to be like him.
For a change the algorithm has found something amazing to offer me. What a brilliant band and I wish them all the very best for success, they have a great future.
Exactly, somehow youtube added this to my choices, amazing stuff
I concur!! Just got home from from a long ride listening to some classic American bebop and it dovetailed into this perfectly.
Check out the KEXP live performance of Taharazed (sp)

Greetings from Russia! It`s amazing show!
Amazing. And all the boys dancing is beautiful.. thanks
I remember when this guy played at my
Local record store half a block from my apartment. Man that was good mdma
I was watching an interview with him where he apologized for sometimes getting his French and English (both of which he is fluent in) a bit mixed up. And he speaks music better than all of the rest. Genius! Great band all around bringing vibes of unity.
💜
@michael boultinghouse she's not even the op of the comment you bozo, maybe take it easy on the Peterson brain rot
He isn't a fluent english speaker. Nigeriens speak french and not english.
@@someguyfromanotherplanet5284 he’s done interviews entirely in English
@@davidhoran7116 where he struggled with english.
Music and dancing... this is what its all about. Beautiful video to experience, thank you ⚡️
Couldn't put it better myself. 💚
Sometimes people forget the power of dancing when talking about music. Dance is so powerful, so beautiful.

Man dig this cat! He swings it like a Hendrix of the desert! Way far out baby, I mean really far out!!

Afrikafest Birkenried known ? I joined Somalia evening in 2019 ! Amazing !
This whole album is absolutely incredible. Love from Canada.
This is revolutionary. We are witnessing the birth of something very big.
Amazing music and band, love from Romania !
That was beautiful. Occasionally Mdou would slightly reveal the pride he felt with a sly smile!
Qui est le dernièrs,qui nous avaient dis que les noirs allaient mieux jouer 🎸aussi bien jouer que les blancs !
Je reconnais que je n'avait jamais vu çà, depuis Jimmy Hendrix 🥁🎸🎸🎶👍👍
Mdou moctar is something everyone should experience once in their life.. This is something we shall preserve for the future.. There is so much culture and the human experience in these sounds and music.. It's like a book of sounds telling the stories of a thousand years
That's the essence of Music .. ♥ with Love & Respect from Tunisia ..
Amazing!!! They’re getting lots of airplay on our NPR, UT radio station in Austin! We love you!! ❤️
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
This is so pure and authentic. Thank you so much for keeping the rock flame alive.
Love it when the kids start dancing - You can't stand still to music that good
Nice pogo! That crowd was more devoted than many I see in first world clubs today.
This guy and the band are legendary
凄まじいパワーだ…
イントロの２音間のプリング・ハンマリングで、リズムが揺れてグルーヴィーなので単調に聞こえないのが凄い…！
みのさんもおっしゃってましたが、タイム感・リズム感が本当に素晴らしいですね！
He is coming to the Bay Area, CA in Sep!! I cant wait to see him live. Tix sold out, no problem. He and his band are worth mucho $$$!! Cool stuff...
I just love African guitar. Songhoy Blues is one of my favourites- a lot like Mdou.
Music is the only place where tuareg epeople still kings. Long live our wounded soul
Aujourd'hui, j'ai lu de vous dans une gazette Hollandaise, et je suis heureux à écouter votre musique!
It looks like I missed a great gig. Wild and free. The drummer. Thanks 👍
Loved it when the kids started dancing , this is new to me but this guy rocks!
Lots of love from India 🇮🇳❤️ crazy energy man, adernelin rush 🌪️🌪️
Yo, bailando como los niños jejej.
Suena increíble y la letra muy fuerte
Saludos desde Perú!!💗 🇵🇪
The grown ups in the audience don´t know how to live in the moment like the kids do. Love the music
Love the simplicity of the set up
È tutto così bello che viene da piangere
Afrikan rock stars. You got to deal with it
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Where born another legend of the world of guitar (Ayub Bacchu) sir RIP
Following these artists of the Sahara for years now.
They give a new face to rock, and I get lost in the trance of drum and riffs. Perfect music for driving through dunes… ❤️
Чуваки! Я ничего не понял, но сердце моё открылось!
Бо це рок н рол дядьку✌️
How I'd love to have been there!
Супер!!!!!!!
Lefty like Hendrix. He would blow Jimi's mind.
when kids start dancing it looks fkin awesome!!!
Molto emozionante, meraviglioso poter essere lì
Welcome back Jimi. It's been too long but I'm glad you've been reincarnated again. \m/
😳
Bravo, ça faisait des années que je n’avais pas été autan touché par de la musique.
Je n’ai plus de mots.
客の踊り方がかっこ良すぎる
ドラマーの叩き方好きな感じ！
Love from Tripura, India
👏💪🙏✊
I respect that you do respect to your community ,,,the rest are detail....
Mdou always looks like he's 8 feet tall standing next to everyone else
Didn't really have anything to add to that
Very good song keep the music going
very NICE from Japan
I put this mob onto my local community based radio station.
They can not get enuff!
PBSNewsHour Weekend 12.12.21 thank you! The heart of rock and roll is still beating!❤️❤️❤️🎶🎵🎶🎵
This feels like music in its purist form. The description adds to this.
i love the album version too but i wish it had those intro drums like this live version
BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM
I love how the lead guitarist slapped the devil out of that black child at 1.45. This music performance really speaks to me.
A top band from the last 10 years no doubt.
What a raw bad, everything about it is so pure it’s perfect
