Met him first in Niger, then years later he came to my small home town in New Brunswick (Canada). Spent the next day with them showing them around town, all such incredibly kind-hearted and interesting people.
He came to New Brunswick?!?!? As a fellow NBer, oh mannnnn I wish I had been aware of him at the time. Hope you left a big enough impression on him to convince him to come back once travel gets going again!
Liam, so jealous... Mdou seems like a very powerful soul to be around. Stoic and kind at once! Im going to see them in Atlanta on their upcoming tour. I really hope they find success and succeed in spreading the albums message.
I saw these guys 2 years ago in a tiny bar and it was one of the best live shows ive ever seen, and I am a live sound engineer. they are also incredibly kind. i'm so happy to see them here.
I realize your comment is 3y old, but I saw them at a festival in my town over the weekend and they exceeded my already high expectations. I'll be seeing them again in October!
As usual man...Africa is like a pandora box...full of magical talents and skills...bless you brother moctar .thank you NPR for spreading love all over the world...
Just saw these guys live and was front row.....so Souleymane aka Mdou saw the guy next to me struggling with his ear plugs and took a pair off his amp and gave them to him mid song....he also smiled every time he looked out and saw us enjoying the show. Incredible humans and incredible music!!! LOVE from the USA!
I swear every time I come to TH-cam to watch live performances of my fav artists I look them up and theres a tiny desk vid of them posted like 5 hours ago and the timing just amazes me
THE MDOU MOCTOR EXPERIENCE. I needed this, beautiful, transportational vibe, thanks for reaching me, don't understand a word, but its music captivates😊
Awesome ! I heard about M.Moctar When they played in Seattle WA , since that time I been listening the Saharan desert blues. Blessing & greetings from the Sonoran Desert . HMO.,Mexico .
Afrique victim will stay as my fav song for a while. Those 80s toms in studio version makes that song what it is but this live version is cute too. Keep up the good work❤❤❤

Seems i find many obscure bands just turning into. KEXP. Seattle radio. Many play there before starting the US tour. Some really funky stuff. Shame Seattle became a cesspool, been a music hub for years. From Sudan so poor he made his first guitar.
Wow! This was amaing! Great concert. Song 3 really showed us another side of your performance. Wow wow wow! So happ to have discovered you! What a great performance!

You’ve done well
You are so lucky to have an experience like that. Cheers Human

Oh man, if he ever makes it to moncton it's one of the few shows I'd get exited for!

They are very chill
@@PAPERWEIGHTPRODUCTIONS Thanks for the heads up! See you sept 8!
@Nastro Adhesivo That didn't stick
@Nastro Adhesivo You must live in a world of utter genius if that's one of the "dumbest remarks you've ever read"
Show off...
Long live Tuareg rock music
nice pfp
Infest the rats nest
Mantap nasi padang
jadi laper
One of the best things about this band is how unpretentious they are. No extravagantly expensive equipment, just what gets the emotion accomplished.
Pumped to see this band in Brooklyn this summer 2024!
I just saw them over the weekend and they blew me away. Made plans to see them in Burlington this October.
love the grins at 6:18, you can tell this band loves playing together. would love to see them someday
If you live in the United States, they are touring with Parquet Courts this spring!
I realize your comment is 3y old, but I saw them at a festival in my town over the weekend and they exceeded my already high expectations. I'll be seeing them again in October!
Reminds of Tinariwen, another phenomenal group. Thank you Tiny Desk, for bringing us this lavish moment.

I'm pretty sure the existence of the internet has given me the privilege of hearing this music. I'm a blessed man, thank you God
I discovered Moctar through KEXP
Africa has some of the best music

Mikey Coltun killin it on the bass
Absolutely phenomenal! Love the new album! Needs to be an African Guitar Fest!
There are a few African blues festivals
Agreed
So glad they made it into npr. these guys are amazing
You can't go wrong with a song that starts out "habibti"😍💞❤. Can't wait to see yas play!
Give them your attention, give them your money. Keep them playing.
That last song just hit me in the soul. I'm gone!
HUGE !
I'm Brazilian and addicted to good sounds so in a search for good guitar-based music I found Mdou Moctar, a true gem, this is so good!
check out Tinariwen, he's another great Saharan guitar player
@@dylanmoses6354 hey, thanks dude, i really liked it!!!
@@PabloSilva-mb2qy awesome!
You'd probably like Habib Koite, too! From Mali. More of that "Modern-Traditional" West African music.
@@majorgruber5925 hey, thanks man, i'm checking it right now.
THE MDOU MOCTOR EXPERIENCE. I needed this, beautiful, transportational vibe, thanks for reaching me, don't understand a word, but its music captivates😊
Just learned about Mdou Moctor on Wednesday and now a tiny desk! Love it!
Nice
Wow! Their music is a gift for my soul... Thank you for sharing your talents! Greetings from Costa Rica...
Extraordinary and beautiful music we are so lucky to have mdou moctar
Brilliant! The whole album is a masterpiece. Great to see it performed in such a laid back manner.
And we rocking with mark. Cause he rocking with us.
He's invited to all the Tuareg cookouts
I'm always in awe whenever I hear these guys play guitar.
Oh man, I love these guys. Saharan rock is where it's at tbh.
Mduo and the group are something special. They enjoy performing. They play for the love of playing. Not fame or fortune to me.
That’s pure.
Awesome ! I heard about M.Moctar
When they played in Seattle WA , since that time I been listening the Saharan desert blues. Blessing & greetings from the Sonoran Desert . HMO.,Mexico .
Amazing amazing amazing!!! 🙏🏾 I love you Africa 💜💜💜
Love to mdou moctar and his people. You are beautful. Please teach the rest of us
It’s 5am no sleep, this is perfect
Saw them open for Parquet Courts in Chicago last night🔥🔥🔥
Love seeing bands you’d never think you’d see because they’re so international
Afrique victim will stay as my fav song for a while. Those 80s toms in studio version makes that song what it is but this live version is cute too. Keep up the good work❤❤❤
It just dont get out of my head
The desert blues are special. 1 of a kind. Trust in Allah but tie your camel
🌄🐪 🌄
Cool vibes here but the fully electric version with full drum kit and guitar pedals make this band UNBELIEVABLE.
Awesome! I really digg this band. There is excellent guitar playing going on, it just blows my mind.
Y’all have to watch his movie too. It’s amazing. Mdou is phenomenal.

Man! Outta sight! Moctar is my new guitar guy! Thank you PBS for covering his story!
Never heard him before but I love the music.🥰
Four hims
Dats wat npr is about discovering new music , I discovered a lot of new artist on here
Seems i find many obscure bands just turning into. KEXP. Seattle radio. Many play there before starting the US tour. Some really funky stuff. Shame Seattle became a cesspool, been a music hub for years.
From Sudan so poor he made his first guitar.
Bravo frère tanimert houlan 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
🌹❤️ Long Live Mdou Moctar & this incredible band!❤️🌹
Masterclass. Impossible not to dance to Afrique Victime. Thank you. -PO
Is that the name translated to French?
They are more incredible than I can even describe in person! ❤️ Don't miss them on tour!
Oh I love this guy!! Great to see him here, what a boss
This is the future of cool... We jam using this formula as well! Much better for connecting with folks! Bless the new styles ✌️
Made me think of We Jam Econo. I think D. Boon would approve.
I have allways adored Touareg music. I wonder if I will learn Berber language someday.
my boys getting the attention they deserve :)
Clicked on this as soon as I saw it. I can't get enough of his new album.
This guys guitar playing is unreal
You should listen to the album, real calming
@@erickmoreka3800 I am currently! Also noticed theyre playing a show in Sept near me so will def be snagging some tickets to that too
@@austinginn5305 very well and thank you, there's so much genre in Africa and the world in general to be discovered.
the drummer is on fire
Saudações brasileiras! Vocês são demaaaais!!!
Hermoso! Que ganas tenía de verlos! Llevo escuchado mucho su álbum que es una verdadera joya!
Desert surf music. I love it.
I'm OBSESSED with this song!
Just heard him for the first time on RNZ. Blissful.
If Hendrix was born Touareg ... incredibly unique! Awesome!
Santana intro'd me to this sound. Music is the true "Universal Language".
Absolutely Devine! Wish you the very best and more. Thank you!!!
I’m in love with them 😍😍😍
So wonderful, I like so much to hear your songs, thanks for sharing in that way 👍👍👏🏽👏🏽😊🧡
the solo on Afrique Victime at the end there… transcendental
Thank you being amazing
This is such a beautiful song. Thank you once again for moving me ri tears .
Don't understand a word they say, love it all. Greetings from Brazil!
Wow! This was amaing! Great concert. Song 3 really showed us another side of your performance. Wow wow wow! So happ to have discovered you! What a great performance!
simply beautiful
Please come to Japan I’d like to see the show!
First time hearing them, won't be the last 🔥
Reminds me of Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté. African Malian. The percussion here sounds very similar.
Have you heard Bombino?
Related ethnic groups
Sahelian sahara style , the African sahara is the common link
Just had the good fortune to see them live, phenomenal sound. If you have the opportunity, don't miss it
9:22 Hendrix 2.0 ? He's is using a Strat left handed....Nice!
Some sweet fret work at 11.11 - this dude has Hendrix in his blood.
They named him as the Hendrix from the Sahara
hendrix is one of moctar's heroes.
Great music. 🙋♀️🌺
Best band in the world 🤷🏾♂️
Wonderful recording, especially the 'live' experience real translates here....
(edit) Dang! rock mode! coool
Ahhhhhh I love these guys!!
I was just watching mdou on kexp and i get this. Today isnt that bad a day.
Cheers, I'm off there next.
I love this channel and KEXP - Happy Monday!
That guys is going to wear out his index finger ... someone buy him a pick! Love it!
I was waiting for this one!
That's wonderful!
Very pleasant.. love it
Здорово.Фолк-основа всей музыки .
Great performance of art.
Calling For Lorine Chia please!!
Beautiful set. Cheers from Toronto Canada
Magnifique ...
Feels like sahara desert at night
I've learned about Mdou Moctar music for HBO Irma Vep soundtrack and wanted to hear more. This musician is fantastic, I would love to see him live.
How do these percussions sound so good
Practice
He's using rings on his fingers as drum sticks and his palms as a kick bass sound.
wow dude ure like so right
@@bamanahistoryandculture6904 big thanks man!
@@skea8o8 Alot of people dont understand that the calabash drum is a real instrument and requires as much technique as any other.
Great musiccc! Love the vibes!
❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️ ...like a perpetual Valentine 💝
Wish they could've done an in person tinydesk but this is wonderful too
They probably don't like to play in studios or closed environments.
The satisfaction this gives me 😍
amazing!! Haven't felt this way towards new music since the Ssingssing tinydesk!
Awesome! 👋👋👋 and I thought John Mayer was playing the bass
you can tell that Afrique Victim is their golden boy
So beautiful !
