- For the second consecutive year, NPR teamed up with globalFEST in January 2021 for a thrilling online music festival we call Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST: three nights, nine bands, and a world of musical traditions hosted by African pop star Angélique Kidjo. Now, we're posting all the sets from our festival as individual Tiny Desk (home) concerts.
Bob Boilen | January 29, 2022
The family members of Al Bilali Soudan, from Timbuktu, Mali, are sought-after musicians and griots. Led by Abellow Yattara, the band is a torch-bearer of quintessentially Tamasheq (or Tuareg) music, shaped by a continuous exchange between the tehardent (lute), vocals and hand percussion. The words sung are similarly percussive, like an instrument themselves. This genre of music has been performed for half a millennium by Tuareg griots to celebrate the end of harvest and the changing seasons, heroic warriors and noble families. --The globalFEST staff

This channel seems to be the best place to discover musical cultures form around the world. Thank you for that !
Truth..,
A music jam from Mali. Nice to see unique instruments and Traditional garb.
i thought they were from Sudan based on the group name too but they're actually from Mali (it's in the description!)
Can we take a minute to talk about how rawly beautiful the leader is. I mean they’re all having their own beauty but the old man in the middle has something more. He has a beauty between strength and gentleness, peace and harshness. he is majestic. there is a great serenity that emanates from him. May Allah shower his blessings on him and all of them.
He looks like Nat King Cole...Gorgeous
As it is with many music groups, a good frontman is key!
@@songsalon7868 lol
And yet we truly know nothing of his character outside this video.
Ameen
I like how the songs went a littlle Metal at times...
It sounds like Tool’s music
Why hate when you can vibe to some traditional mali music
this is why I'm subscribed here
I feel like we're hearing the ancient seeds that sprouted into blues and rock & roll
Waiting for gamelan music of Indonesia. ❤️
0:00 - *Apolo* (6:03)
8:38 - *Djaba*
[17:31 - Tiny Desk team]
This was so magical n deeply spiritual. They remind me of the Muslim men I see in my neighborhood on 116 St n Lenox Ave up in Harlem. TD u guys have a very eclectic palette. I appreciate all the different cultures u feature on this channel....Thx u!
I don't know if spiritual is the exactly word but they are enjoying it a lot that's no doubt
Awsome. This traditional music is the root and essence of modern music today.
I love the family connection of the members and even the instruments. Thank you all who made this possible. It is soo good to see people loving their cultural music 🎶 and sharing it.
Congratulations on your retirement.
im Grateful. Tiny Desk has opened so many musical sounds for me from everywhere!
Thank you all the incredible people! Much LOVE from Alaska
Thank you for sharing your musical art. Greetings from Argentina. Love and peace.
Love those riffs that he's playing at 8:35 in the video.
For a minute I thought I had X2 playback on. How quickly was he finessing them strings 🤔😂
Sounds like a rock guitar solo.
I got very emotional listening to this. They have a really big presence. Thank you. Greetings from Chile.
Hear the banjo sound? This instrument, the tehardent, is the precursor of the modern banjo.
those polyrhythms 🔥🔥🔥
Am from Kenya and African music slaps a different especially west african music and am not talkin about digital music, i mean authentic or indigenous African music. NPR please also include some kora music artists in your catalogue of videos.
Ballaké Sissoko did one a few years ago. It's gorgeous. They also had Cheick Hamala Diabate on.
@@ijustneedmyself let me check them out. Thank you
@@guruvoke4331 You're welcome!
1:23 & 4th guy from right, starts Groovin.
Vibing 😊
Always a pleasure to discover new vibes Thanks Tiny Desk!
Oh wow 🙏🏼 your sounds are so beautiful and interesting! I'm enjoying how joyful you are in the music. Thank you 🙂
Mali like Italy... country of Poets, Singers and...Saints!! :-)
Wow, just beautiful! 🎶👏🏽🎶
Yes the man clapping his hands has forgotten his instrument and now is using his hands 🙌
Very cool, beautiful art expression
The beats were everything! From the 1st note! Fantastic!!
Amen to that. Your music speaks to my soul. Thank you.
Maravillosa música
マリ北部トゥアレグのグリオだそう。テハルダントとカラバシで、トランシー!Tiny Deskには、故Khaira Arbyもでてましたね。
I love this music I’ve never heard it but I really love it
Tiny desks is just wonderful! Exploring and enjoying good music! Thanks.
Man these guys went of 🙆🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥
God I love this genre of music
This is why I absolutely love this channel.
That instrument sounds like it had an effect pedal on it!
It did. They’re called human fingers.
Actually, it's the effect pedals that sounds like instruments made with different materials. I'm guessing that in theory we should be able to reproduce the sounds made by the effects by experimenting with different sound boxes and materials
@@VashdaCrash sure, effects pedals, hardware/software comps/plug-ins, master EQs, etc. all modify the sound in a known and desired tone. What’s your point about any of that production stuff in relation to this video though?
@@VashdaCrash these are all acoustic *tehardents* here…
@@austinmonroe3894 I was just digressing... Sorry if it bothered you.
Someone tell me if you don’t get blues vibes from 3:14
I've heard this music before but when I come to think of it, it's a mix between rock and taarab music... Mmmm..
More of Tammasheq
Beautiful music I like it so much
This is so dope
My guy just showed more licks and sweeps in that ten seconds than any of us have heard ever from a six string. If you heard, you heard.
Amazing 🥰💫

✌️
Anyone know what the name of the specific type of headdress they are wearing?
BUUUUUMMM! 💣 🎒
Is it Sudanese traditional music?
No it’s Malian.
not all music is good music.
Not every person has good taste 🤷
@@jiraya350 same* taste
Por que se robaron a appa, que mierdero encontrarlo
Ну... Это имеет смысл, если смотреть это как на что-то самобытное... С точки зрения истории, культурологии и всякого такого...
С музыкальной точки зрения - это оч слабый уровень...
It’s good for them, no harmony, dominant, subdominant... :-D
Come on, let’s be honest. This “music” is absolutely terrible lol.
Is it is where Myron Gains is from Why would you all bring these people on your show and you know how they feel about Americans
How do Tuareg's feel about America?! I suggest you brush up on your geography... Your ignorance is showing...
Wow not my cup of tea and I am open to all cultures. Every song sounded the same as I just randomly fast forwarded through it. I hope all of you who praised this aren't just trying to look well read. You can appreciate a culture but not care for the music, food etc. I respect them but it is not a good sound.
So you do realize people have different tastes and opinions, you mention that. But then you turn around and question people here who appreciate/are familiar with this music and culture? Make it make sense
‘I randomly fast forwarded through it’. That says it all - you’re an impatient human being who can’t take the time to try and respect and understand other cultural sounds.
Your opinion would mean more if you didn’t skip through it.
@@pleezahful the guy epitomises ignorance.
I appreciate culture. I like this music. It is a Good sound.
🙄🤔
Hahahaa. You realize this is America, right? Horrible music choice on someone's behalf.
This is Earth.
Says the non- cultured
Ethnocentricity is what your comment displays.
I agree terrible music but America has nothing to do with it.
Move to Russia, fool.
