[TheDANDAILY]

One if his best...heard him 1 week ago in Mannheim, Germany - it was a unbelievable Gig

[lulugemini]

@TheDANDAILY Lucky You!

[Jijigawi]

@beeroosterm, you know nothing about music, so go back to your Britney Spears music and leave real talent alone. You are either very young, or incredibly ignorant about music

[beeroosterm]

BORRRRRIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!! Wake me up when it's over....Zzzzzzz.....

[suku0uutiset]

@beeroosterm yeah, we so love Justin Bieber :)

[beeroosterm]

@suku0uutiset First Vieux Farka Toure and now you like Justin Bieber? Give up - you have no hope of having any sort of musical taste whatsoever.

[suku0uutiset]

@beeroosterm never heard about sarcasm and irony :)

[beeroosterm]

@suku0uutiset No one on this site has a sense of anything except political correctness

[suku0uutiset]

@beeroosterm now that was funny! Thanks!

[RapsNBassTron]

Very cool

[ginakstewart]

BRILLIANT!!!! Can't wait for your performance in JOSHUA TREE, California. Peace and Love

[TheSoulsister1]

My friends, I wish I could have the pledger of seeing this man play live. This is a very talented man. Not to say his music sound good because I'm a western person.His music doesn't sound like western music, just because we gravitate to it. When I first start to listen to Africa music it was the Mali music I like the most.Vieux Farka Toure is very Mali music to me. I love Mali music, all of it.

[SoyYoDel79]

[thegreatimpostor]

[CreateModify]

Anybody have any kind of idea what the instrument is at 1:13? Craziest hand drum I've ever seen.

[Astrobeat17]

@CreateModify It is a calabasse, or calabash.

[ddavis510]

@CreateModify Its a ball.

[ddavis510]

I just saw these guys last night. The round drum is called a kalabash.

[fezzappa]

the world is smaller because of the internet-

music is universal and i am overjoyed to be able to hear such beauty all around the world-...between ali,his son and habib koite,i am lucky enough to now know such great music all around the world-

peace

[CyCoChili]

Is it any wonder that Africa would take "Blues" and "get it" then take it to another level. I am insane for this sound.

[hadiotoba]

Blues is african at the origin, travelled to America, matured, and then inspired African Roots. The full Circle!

[CyCoChili]

hadiotoba - well said my friend. Pray we hear the next cycle of perfection! Right now - this is as close to God's ear as we get.

[tedybear335]

Oh yeeeaaaaah!!

[peebes555]

Derek Bell of the Chieftains once stated that if cultures could get together and understand each other's music, there would be so much less fighting and problems in the world (not an exact quote; a paraphrase). This performance honors that spirit--a Malian musician paying homage to the musical heroes of the culture for which he is performing. Beautiful.

[CyCoChili]

Peebes555 - I just hit the wrong thumb - damn! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I am in awe of this sound!

[lunhil12]

@peebes555 Yes, It's an African tradition to honor your host with a gift. This is great stuff.

[rasfi1]

hahahahhaahahahahahahahahahaqh­ahahahahahahaha oh my god it dose'nt work lol hahahahahahaha

[brutussmithicus]

I think it would be more acurate to say that your limited musical outlook prevented you from appreciating it.

[ropy89]

@brutussmithicus - what a sentence ! :D

[FireOfpassion]

@brutussmithicus your on point

[UduVudoo]

7 Layers of AWESOME!!

[celiabonheur]

[SonnyAmou]

Oh man, Ali has a son who's every bit as talented as the old man. Makes his too-early passing less hard to swallow.

Vieux, you just picked up a new follower! Great stuff...

[subratabanik]

Vieux you rock!!!!!

[brutussmithicus]

aaaaaaaarrrrgh - AWESOME

Amazing guitarist, as was his father - the Great Ali Farka. Quite different sounding musicians, but they can both make some awesome uplifting sounds :-D

[smu2008]
