Tahouline means "to all the beautifull girls". It's a song about love dedicated to women here the chorus : To all the beautiful girls in the land beauty is not enough, you must accompany it with a good heart. It's like the devil came with a scale... to weigh my love against all of my doubts.
From Wikipedia: Mdou Moctar (also known as M.dou Mouktar; born c. 1986[1]) is a Tuareg songwriter and musician based in Agadez, Niger, and is one of the first musicians to perform modern electronic adaptations of Tuareg guitar music.[2][3] He first became famous through a subtle trading network of cellphones and memory cards in West Africa.[4] Mdou Moctar is a popular wedding performer and sings about Islam, education, love and peace in Tamasheq.[5][6][7] He plays a left-handed Fender in a takamba and assouf style.[5][8] He is originally from Abalak and has also lived in Tchintabaraden and Libya.[9][10][11]
If people would like to know more about him there's a guitar centered interview called Guitar Power on TH-cam. You can get a lot of his insight in that show
I learned about this guy in college. African studies through popular music. Best class I ever took. Never knew the blues until then. Blues evolved parallel in the river deltas of north america as well as in places like lagos, Nigeria where hard days work in the hot sun and loss of love was just as abundant.

Studying as many bands and amazing musicians from eastern culture as i can after learning the legend jimmy page was inspired by middle eastern culture and music.. and they just prove music is in the soul and you dont need to be perfect to make something amazing.. peace and love from America ✌❤🇺🇸
This is beautiful. I saw this wonderful band recently playing plugged-in - two Strats, full drum set, bass. One of the most exciting concerts I've ever been to. Also, his two-finger picking technique is amazing going full speed on a Strat.
The tough the wind which blowing our tents And hear the steps of the ancient camels crossing the fate of my ancestors And the the heart being fulfilled by the sands
Though I can't understand a single word, this song speaks so much to me. It is so beautiful to hear to and their smiles during the whole performance shows how pure and original the music is. Much more power to them, hope they keep up with these mellow songs too!
I love West African music and the Trade Up Music sticker on the singer's guitar. Thank you for this beautiful gift, Mdou Moctar, and come visit Portland again sometime soon!

I like this music. I did not understand what is he is singing about. We, Oromos of Ethiopia, have the same genre of music called SHAGGOOYYEE. I can't stop listening to this music. Still listening while working my assignments.

Thanks. I was wondering about many of the points you made.
Other awsome thing is that he made his first guitar himself, out of wood and cords from bicycle brakes.

If he were my neighbour I would knock on his door and ask him to turn the volume up.
best comment ever.
Yep i agree with u hhhh

I would break his window so I could hear better.
I would call animal control, it sounded like a cat being skinned alive...
Thank you TH-cam's mysterious algorithm for showing me this soul refreshing music, thanks!
Quincy Joaquim. Like that comment man. Isn t this something? Lo long my friend.
Try robert castel from algeria 's music sometime maybe.

Rolling stones and zeppelin also heavily influenced by Icelandic music as well.
I wouldn't call it eastern. They are from the west most point of the old world.
@@redwolf4203 for some people everything that isn't europe, usa, canada, australia and new zealand is the eastern world.
I was inspired by George Harrison to discover this kind of music and it failed to disappoint me
This ain't really eastern, it's north African music

Loved this music .
Its mental peace
So beautiful
Love from India ❤️
The magic of music is amazing. I'm starting to really appreciate these suggestions that end up on my feed. The shot at the end is beyond words.
Who needs to know what he’s singing about when the music is as good as this. (I’m Scottish not a clue what he’s singing about but it’s good )
He is singing about love and how to behave in good manners.
I thought he was Scottish makes as much sense
Finn Eire yeah he’s in the Black Watch
Mongo x who
Dear Scotsman won't bagpipers go great with this composition !
this is the most beautiful music in the world
VERY CLASS FROM AFRICA !!
Indeed, this south Saharan desert blues movement going on right now is so awesome
Touareg music is both from the past and the future, beautiful
I keep coming back to this just to see the serenity in their faces as they play.
sympathy is all around ... i noticed this.
Me too !
Time just goes away when they play
This song brings tears to my eyes. Somehow my soul knows what he is singing. So beautiful
His hand on that wood and strings can touch the people's souls. 🤩

This is the first sahara blue/rock song I ever heard, I was high that night and I've been in love with the genre and other artists since then.
And to think I have the pleasure of living at the same time as him... quite a euphoric feeling.
i'm a fullani from mauritania i love so much music of touareg they look likes a fullani lov u all african
Music is a universal language. Moctar is a brilliant master of this form of expression!
Today, my cravings for most beautiful music got its dose
Absolutely a beautiful song! fan from norway.
One of the few times im happy youtube recommends something i watched like 2 years ago

Saw him open for Tame Impala, in St Augustine. Sooo talented!! What a show!
بارك الله في مدو مختار وأصدقائه.
Your blues warms the heart.
Merci pour le voyage sans pollution Mdou!

Music is the universal language.
epic, long live the Tuareg!!
Sweet, simple, joyful and uplifting!

Just a pen!
So happy you tube brings this to us.

How natural how soothing.
Super the game of your left hand... It's the first time I can see that. Merci
Yeah that's why they called him halal Jimmy Hendrix 😅
Man.... this feels me right up inside.........
Love from Kolkata. I absolutely dig your music
This music is so soul-nourishing
So much beautiful music comes out of Africa.
Gentle soothing but infectious music that makes me smile
Beautiful sounds and rhythms!
it ended too soon!!!! Shukran. Merci pour la belle musique. Vraiment, c’est bien. Waaaah.
seein him tonight - stoked
@Tony Montana awesome
this is such a vibe
Awesome. Very similar to Peruvian music called Huayno...amazing similarity.
Tcooper it’s similar to Nepali music as well .. music of the hills
Music is the one thing that we continents away, can relate to.
unified source, one love
🙏🏽❤️💛💚🙏🏽
does anybody know what tunning is he using?
Or where can I find the lyrics?
I listen it by the ear of my heart #Mdou Moctar
i dont understand what he sings but i like it. I like the vibe they create. Thank you
this shows u that guitar gear dont matter..... too many ppl nowadays always lookin for the best guitar and gear....... these dudes playin on cheap ass guitars and still make it sound good... its the player... that makes the difference... always...
i need this music in a pill
Ibrahim Milliti the best comment I’ve ever seen
I believe that's called an earbud
I found the tunning whie as playing my guitar. I'm not really sure if it is the same, but I used an open Bb tuinning and works quite the same.
I was wondering about that..can u brake down the tuning.
se alguém do Brasil é fã dessa banda eu preciso encontrar essa pessoa
Sendo salvo a cada dia por esse rock do deserto.
M having a hard time figuring out what's the songs name and what the artist's name is. The song is so refreshing though.
The artist is Mdou Moctar, look him up! Great artist
Bruh theyre both in the title...
😢😢😢 i'm about to cry
This song is a journey.wonderful...
Thank you Jer for sharing the real art indeed.. would you please add Arabic/English translation subtitles for songs !!!
these dudes brings organic to new levels...down to tuning guitar with "Bic"
is there any mixing in this video >>> some notes don't appear >> the second guitarist didn't play solo either >>> I can't believe >>>
Good catch. Parts of audio do seem to not match the video
Does anyone have an idea about the time signature or picking pattern for this? I'm guessing it's a polyrhythm? I can't get it.
Beautiful music, beautiful men! 💕💕💕
