70 years old I've just found him. So very moving...too good.

mike spencer By the way "mike spencer" at the wonderfull age of 70 you must know a lot. if you like this defo check out the collaboration with Ry Cooder, "Talking Timbuktu." Reply

[@marcusareolae1464]

mike spencer Listen to his dad! The great Ali Farka Toure. This and Amandrei are mesmerizing.

[@mikespencer9171]

it was after his dad i found him.What makes this song sooo good is it's son in fathers memory

[@juanitarichards1074]

It's disgusting to insert commercials IN THE MIDDLE of the music!!! This music is sacred. Put all the ads you want BEFORE you play the video of the song! 😳

[@grahameboyd4583]

My native language - English - simply does not contain the adjectives to describe this in the way I feel it deserves. The best I can muster is two words - stunningly spectacular. This is the creme de la creme

[@RMutt1]

I'm not the type of person that bothers commenting on KZbin but this song is one of the few things that is worth the time. I remember hearing this song for the first time in the movie "Unfaithful" and it stuck with me. It was so pervasive that I had to find it. I'm not an old guy at 31 but it really has to be said that they simply don't make music like this anymore. There is such soul and depth to this in the chords that little else need be added. I'm well aware that his father wrote the song but I feel blessed to be born at a time that I'm able to hear something as hypnotizing as "Ai Du". Truly amazing music. I think the only thing that could top hearing this song, is hearing it live and this is probably the closest I'll ever get to that.

[@luisaomdr]

+RMutt1 Good to hear that there are still people that has some kind of sensitity

[@SouthernComfort707]

I also heard it for the first time in the movie and did not stop until I found it. This is truly amazing music.

[@isheunesuchitakunye9527]

RMutt1 well said this is a beautiful song I too fell in love with it from the same movie Unfaithful

[@ydorvilne]

Same here. Been listening to it for about 5 years now

[@naziakhan284]

same here!!! Been listening to it ever since and prob won't stop till this track is removed. Hope that never happens.

[@Godess1971]

He played this song right to my face just a foot away from me, I cried the whole time. it was one of the most wonderful things to ever happen to me. Yes it is a sexy song just as sexy as his father delivered it

[@gerrard6107]

J'ai le souffle coupé quand j'écoute ses chansons. Je suis très fier que mon pays ait la chance de regorger au tant de jeunes talents afin de prendre la relève des Salif Keita, Aly Farka Toure, Oumou Sangare, Amadou et Mariam........

[@rocketmen5151]

Aethiop Al-Nasara me too! Thanks to AncestryDNA I can claim it! ❤️

[@MsHelene2009]

Oh Fantastic! Many innocent children and women from Mali were stolen by lawless, godless and heartless bandits, sold to the Nazara(christians/whites) as slaves.

Eric Clapton should invite him to perform at Crossroads festival. He will surely blow nearly all away with the exception of very few.

[@momatseck8216]

Thank you very much brother

[@butterman0007]

He was on the Dec 2015 rollingstone mag. I wanna see him in the blues community more. I know his style is different but its still very much as the heart of the blues.

[@cquerales]

This is too much it transports you through time and space

[@Cumar2000]

I'm more attached to his father's original version, but this is also excellent. The guitar tuning/playing sounds pretty much like Ali's tuning/playing on the solo version of 'Diaraby'. Great to see Vieux is continuing the legacy in his own way and right. Thanks to the uploader!

[@karenchandler4717]

Can you send the link for his Father's version? Please and thanks 😊

[@alansquash2003]

Saw this guy today at the Devizes Carnival and I thought he and his band were sensational. They call him the Hendrix of the Sahara - he deserves the compliment. Watching him live you get a stonking blues/rock/afro/celt sound with unbelievably, effortless guitar playing. I've seen most of the top guitar players in my time and I rate 'Vieux' up there with the best.

[@mandyjohnson1109]

Been looking for this since I saw the movie "Unfaithful" decades ago...Sww rerun last night and tracked this amazing musician. Smokin'

Much respect Mr Ali Farka Toure' ... rest ... we will miss you, one of the greatest Blues Musicians EVER, if not the best. The REAL roots of the blues is in the history and feeling of your music. I can definitely feel it, and I am from the Mississippi river area myself so I appreciate GOOD blues when I hear it. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Bless you Mr Toure'. much respect.

Vieux played Ai Du as an encore in Aspen. After a great performance and a spectacular encore which lasted 20 minutes and they had left the stage. They came back and played this, just unbelievable. I compare it to Miles Davis, All Blues live in Stockholm 1960.
