Live in Niamey, Niger.
In winter 2020, the Mdou Moctar band met up in Niamey, the capital of Niger, to record a few songs in anticipation of the release of, Afrique Victime. We were staying on the outskirts of town at a friend's home. One day, we quietly set up in front of the house to film a few songs. Despite our relative isolation, the noise of the band inevitably attracted a crowd. What started as the four of us simply playing a few songs for a camera turned into a three-night run of rowdy concerts, bringing in hundreds of eager listeners. Each night, kids from all over the city would line up at our door, rushing over after their final evening prayer. These performances were completely spontaneous and wholly unplanned. Thanks to our audience, we were able to capture the spectacular energy of a typical Niamey concert for you. We're thrilled about it and hope you will be, too. Enjoy!

Unbelievably brilliant. The drummer is on another level the Bass player is a groove machine the Rhythm guitar is extremely supportive and tight and the lead guitar is so different from western music, the melody lines are so unexpected and fresh I was honestly blown away . Maybe the most original sound I’ve heard in a very long time. I may be behind the ball on this as this was 2 years ago but I’m so glad I found this music … thank you.

Beautiful stuff. My mother lived in Niamey for about a year, a year and a half. One of the poorest countries in Africa and by extension one of the poorest in the world. Before she passed away, she shared how oppressive the desert environment can be, and yet how incredibly the culture of the people is and their perseverance through the harsh environment that is simply not built for sustaining life, and yet it does. Amazing video.

I think part of the deal with that show was that they were "inspiring" with their attitude, but everyone in the audience had the sense "That's not so hard, I can do that, and probably better than those idiots on stage" and lots of them were exactly right. I wold love it if these shows inspire a new Joy Division/New Order, but it would be in a different, more directly positive way.

@hanoiragmen 2 ай бұрын
No but what's so interesting is they're not. There's a 3/2 polyrhythm going on. The band is playing to a 3 feel (which you could categorize as 6/8 but shouldn't because the drummer and bass are playing complete units in the span of 3 pulses, so it's really 3/4) - but they are stamping their feet (and the kids are clapping) to a feel that fits 2 claps in that same space. So band plays in 3, kids clap in 2. For me, and I think a lot of American / European musicians, it's a groove that I can definitely enjoy but might have trouble dancing/clapping to! For folks raised in a West African or North African musical context (it happens alot in Morocco Gnawa music as well), this is a fundamental groove. I think what's coolest is that the 3 lays down the fundamental beats, and the 2 is actually the pattern that creates the groove by riffing off the foundation in a syncopated fashion. So what these kids are intuitively engaging with is the more interesting of the two options! Not trying to be annoying or rude, just saw your comment and it made me want to discuss.

I have no idea how this was pushed in my direction. I’d vaguely heard of Mdou Moctar, the music scene there and coup d'état occurred in Niger resulting resulting in the band’s exile. I’d never HEARD the band until now though. Wow! Incredible stuff. The rhythm section is stunning all of it is. I’m so happy to have found this.
