Mdou Moctar - The Agadez Folders: Live at Sultan’s Palace

[@DJ_Black_Tourmaline]

Africa will save rock and roll.

[@yodafo236]

Totally!

[@andjelkozlotvor]

From the very beginning, rock and roll was an urban movement closely connected with freedom: personal freedom, existential freedom, social freedom, sexual freedom, political freedom, freedom of dress, freedom of thought, speech and individual actions independent of the expectations of someone’s communities and authorities. Now, look at this crowd and tell me do you see any of these in them? Maybe I'm stupid but I just can't see how exactly will Africa save rock and roll. Please, let me know.

[@Jaguar-s7f]

@@andjelkozlotvorit’s a very cynical take. I am going to assume you know pretty much nothing about this particular culture beyond making certain logical assumptions (since it is in Africa after all). Certainly not its evolution over time. For all you know this is radical behavior, for them.

[@andjelkozlotvor]

@@Jaguar-s7f Of course my take is cynical. I don’t need to know much about their culture to see inorganic relation between r’n’r and them. Maybe this music won’t save r’n’r, but it will satisfy the desperate hunger for a new sound of us western consumers for a while.

[@mazdarex7]

​@@andjelkozlotvormaybe as you say you're stupid. Doubt it. I have another diagnosis about you. Golden Earring almost saved your rnr.... As a parody of your underground culture.

[@justa_hoax]

The dudes posted up on the camels, the dancers in their headdresses, the intimate crowd, the setting and of course the incredible songs make this one of the best live videos I’ve seen. What a band!

[@meltycloudy7660]

The Tuareg posted up on the Camels is the hardest shit ever lmao

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Seriously! What a way to roll up to a gig.

[@yccmzimmy]

comment like this are simply very out of topi anywhere... especially in a video like this... but we cannot prevent people from being dumb, can we. I cannot

[@hamzaesam9782]

he meant it looks cool and it does actually!!!​@@yccmzimmy

[@ouicommunicate]

I think it's just about the most beautiful concert I've seen.

[@EmbeJuicemazzopazzo]

cleanest drummer in the continent

[@thomasbeardslee1491]

I didn't think this could get any better, then the translated lyrics popped up 😯

[@hustler3of4culture3]

Your drummer is SO GOOD. His high hat game is outstanding

[@ThouDailyBlab]

He is very good.

[@sebastiandeinemutter236]

I love that guy too. And great charisma!

[@mazdarex7]

Tasteful drumming. Not exact comparison, IMHO like grand funk, early airplane. Also check out early drummer of Big Daddy and the Hoodoo Men, a local band .

[@didgeridid]

Greatings from Ukraine to the free Touareg people of Sahel!

[@yaxcine]

they are totaly free in algeria

[@KanyeWesticlez]

left-handed guitarists man. this is amazing. all of these musicians, the videographers, the performers, everyone involved here are just top notch.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Anna has always been my favorite mdou song.

[@Tsotha]

this is one of the best concerts I have ever seen streamed on youtube - love the dancers with the elaborate headdresses

[@hedgeenemy1587]

so grateful that you share your culture with us

[@yurimellet9137]

oh Gosh, you made me smile from ear to ear while dropping tears of joy all along the 48 minutes of the video. greetings and loving you so much here from Peru. few contemporay bands could match you for originality, musicianship, top of thr line guitar playing (and drumming!!)with such a unique style while joining so well as a band... keeping high the flame of the best rock music. Thank you or that!!!

[@kgbinfo]

It’s weird how the best guitarists are left handed. Mdou is definitely one of the best.

[@gilbertovalenzuela2319]

One of the most original bands currently, hope that they can inspire more bands in Niger and all of Africa

[@ThouDailyBlab]

Always a joy to watch a Mdou Moctar live video! Locale, dancers and the camels have made this one of the best. Shout out to the drummer Souleymane - he is insanely good.

[@vonnscottbair]

Good Evening: Stunning. Probably just my imagination, but some of the camels seemed to sway their heads in time with the beat.

[@UltraFunky50000]

while politics and religion divides humankind , art has the power to reunite it , thank you Mdou Moctar for remembering us that we can actually be one!

[@cholst1]

Such a vapid statement. First of, his music often touches the political. And the statement that we can be one, is in itself political. We can never be "reunited" unless political issues get resolved. Like, the titles "Modern Slaves" and "Funeral for Justice" _clearly_ have political tones.

[@pierrebidondo4095]

Greetings from Alaska! Your music & video brings warmth & joy to the cold days & long dark nights. Peace & long life to you & yours

[@1Phosphor]

This is refreshing. Thanks for putting this online.

[@Sjnez]

The music is absolutely amazing, production is insanely good, the vibe is off the charts and in no universe does this not get 5 stars from me.

[@darkuniversechicken]

Gonna see them on th 18th in Oct! Can't wait!

[@xianpunkiex]

Gracias Mdou Moctar por mostrarnos la música desde otro punto de vista con una mezcla de melodías

[@terubokmasin3247]

The headdress of the spear men look amazing! Crazy crazy concert. Wish I was there.

[@m.st..]

Dude nailed it! His guitar is an extension of his soul. I want to be there!!!!😍💯🎉💥

[@jincoltrane3314]

Mdou’s index finger is the pick of destiny

[@mysteriousoul]

Damn, what a rhythm section!!

[@MrVincent1664]

The drummer is machine ! So good !

[@Diecastclassicist]

Best band out there these days, I love it!

[@rakka_uta]

いつか日本に来てくれたとしても同じようなステージは観れないだろうから現地に行って観たい！

[@diaaabo]

Je serais présent sur votre concert à Paris demain soir, n'oubliez pas de ramener les chameaux aussi!

[@darlantro]

41:40 he spots the people getting down to that song and walks over to show appreciation

[@audioslavewithamastermind]

I hope the kids watching also get inspired to pick up the guitar and never put in a situation where they have to pick up a gun

[@Heimelhead]

What's the difference?

[@nochepatada]

​@@Heimelhead the guitar will help them pick up chicks😎🤘

[@chocobo678]

That classic north american rac1st comment implying that every middle east/african person is a potential terrorist who needs to be saved from their own retrograde uncivilized culture

[@chocobo678]

Why would you assume that these kids could eventually end up in a situation like that?

[@awstraliad]

@@chocobo678 The country currently has separatism issues, and a branch of ISIS hanging about in the desert, and is currently in the midst of a civil war. Fun fact, the rebel groups as well as Al-Qaeda branch operating in the area are supported financially by France and Ukraine.

[@AlissonCamargo]

Amazing guys! Come to Brazil!

[@Discordantmusic]

other bands have people knocking each other over in the pit, but mdou has freaking sword fights! All jokes aside, incredible band with incredible music doing another incredible performance!!! Was very lucky to see them live earlier this year and the energy was incredible. I wish I'd have been able to read more lyric translations before then, as it would've made that show even more impactful than it already was. Blown away as always by these insanely impactful grooves!

[@Tremuoso]

I love how every time they play one of their songs it's a bit different while completely recognizable.

[@CCDaDon15]

You should check out The Brother Moves On from Joburg South Africa

[@ginesvelazquez]

An Argentinian from Colombia here!

[@gilbertramos6039]

I'm liking Mr. Ahmoudou Epiphone Rhythm. Wish I could hear him better in the mix. Great!

[@alexstewart839]

Tokoba is the smoothest groove that I've heard in a long minute! I can't stop dancing.

[@WelderRiffer]

So alive LIVE , great energy and magic vibe. Thank you

[@daviddiacrono]

Yes! I love Mdou Moctar! Great production once again! Keep up the great work!

[@dailyflash]

I've got my ticket to see them here in Los Angeles, 10/26/24. Very excited.

[@dinolucas3249]

I just saw this band in Madison Wisconsin a few days ago. Incredible!

THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏

[@OfficialFire]

beautiful performance

[@koolsometimes]

Just like here only a few feel the energy. I thought it was just a U.S,A. thing. What's wrong with people? Get up and enjoy the music. Dance people. Energy like this is positive and can raise you to new heights. I would be jammin with this band and vibing. Dance and enjoy the energy. Get off your phones and ignore the thought police. Only the preachers can enjoy it. Do better preachers you will get a better following. Our human race is amazing how music can influence us to just enjoy the moment. What is a shame is the jack boot soldiers on the circle to prevent those who really want to take part can't unless you have permission to do so. I'm glad that you dudes are out there doing this. Music is integral part of our ancestors and now as well.
