Their society may have strict gender roles, that would not imply misogyny or oppression. "glorification of violence" because they talk about their nation's historical pride as warriors is just an extremely lame thing to say. Go ahead and write a similar comment on _every single other song_ that has a reference to violence. I'd love you to be ridiculed a million times over for your petty immature shots at talented artists. A simple statement about their pride gets this pettiness, meanwhile there are _countless_ songs that actually talk about extreme violence. There are entire genres of music based around violence. Seriously, go write a similar comment on them all... then go back later and read all the replies. An opportunity for you to learn and grow. Immature and inexperienced youngsters shouldn't try talking about morality in the first place. Every facet of life includes violence in some form, so quit making talking about things you don't understand. Offence was _obviously intended_ because your argument is petty and grasping at straws. You sound like a wannabe who can only criticize, but you're german so good chance you're also a racist.

Algorithms put me on a couple bangers today.

[@REON-pw5ze]

for once

[@Stratplayer05]

As a big fan of Tinariwen and Mdou Moctar, it's always awesome to see other (especially older) artists in the same sphere get a big break here in the west. Each release is another window into a genre with such a rich history that I want to learn everything I can about it, but get so few opportunities that each one is extremely valuable.

[@daymeeedababy]

Moctar did this song justice 😊

[@Auggievf]

How did I become worthy of witnessing this marvel of the modern era?

Impresionante En medio de tantos videos y shorts sobre noticias del mundo (con su panorama triste) el algoritmo me trae esta verdadera joya. Qué momento para estar vivo Saludos desde Chile 👌🇨🇱

If this is my algorithm, I’m doing something right. In fact, I think my SOUL is doing something right. This is amazing

My late father would've loved this! He'd be 74 if still alive. I inherited his taste in music. He had me listening to zulu music in the early 80s. He loved the Bhundu Boys. Not bad for a working class man from Ireland.

[@PKBassPlaya]

Your daddy really had great taste in music. Have you listened to Paul Simon's Graceland album and the live concert? If you haven't, check it out. You'll love it.

[@donnasmyth45]

@PKBassPlaya lovely reply 💗. I like the way you called him 'daddy'..that's what I called him. And yes indeed, I have listened to Graceland.

[@PKBassPlaya]

@donnasmyth45 my parents are still alive and I always thank God for their lives. I always talk to them and visit all the time I can. Your dad really raised you right and I can tell he was a very stellar person. God bless you and bless his memory.

[@donnasmyth45]

@PKBassPlaya and God bless you too and your mummy and daddy.

I clicked on this simply because of the thumbnail. Didn't exactly know what to expect, and insanely groovy blues rock was absolutely not my prediction but this is killer! These dudes know how to jam, and it's so clear they're having a blast with it. The algorithm hath blessed us once again brothers and sisters!

Alright, let me tell you what I’ve been through to get here. I’ve been on this bizarre journey, a quest, if you will, for months. Every night, I’d sit down at my computer, open KZbin, and start typing the most random strings of characters into the search bar-nonsense words, numbers, combinations no sane person would ever type-anything that might somehow summon this video. I’m talking HOURS of aimless searching, just scrolling through endless recommendations, refreshing, diving deeper and deeper into KZbin’s twisted, infinite rabbit hole. At first, I thought I was just exploring, but soon it became a mission. I started obsessing. Convinced there was something out there waiting for me, hidden just beyond my reach, like some sort of legendary lost relic of the internet. People around me started noticing-“Why are you always searching weird things on KZbin?” they’d ask. But they wouldn’t understand. No one could. I knew this video was real. I could feel it. Every night, I'd go to bed frustrated, lying there thinking, "Maybe I’ll find it tomorrow." But day after day, night after night-nothing. Just failure after failure. And then, today… it happened. There it was, just sitting in my recommended feed. Just staring back at me like it had been waiting for me this entire time. The audacity of it. It wasn't me who found the video-no, I realize now, it found me. It had been watching me all along, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself, as if to say, "About time you caught up."

[@twooobee6510]

I want to say thank you for sharing your journey

[@lin3bass]

Cool story bro. 😳

[@feeboat5543]

You ran a great one brother , now we’re here 💪🏽

[@ItsInsane21]

I saw the thumbnail of what they were wearing and holding a guitar with a green screen background of some desert. So naturally I had to hear what sound they were making. Started with a nice little something, ok they can actually play. Then 0:25 happened and just blew my mind and it only kept getting better as the song kept going. This was great music.

[@geekdahmazz]

Same i thought they must be really good Cause everyone of these people knows how to play guitar

[@rafaelcarvalho8297]

“Ok, they can actually play” that sounded r… Why they possibly wouldn’t?

I saw Vieux Farka Touré (Malian guitar player) live this summer and it absolutely bent my reality. Traditionally-inspired West African rock is no joke and everyone owes it to themselves to explore the genre.
