[marlakdel]

Liquid Sex

[AchwaqKhalid]

why the hell all my favorite artists are dead, R.I.P. legend.

[Jijigawi]

@AchwaqKhalid, Vieux is alive and well. It is his dad who passed away.

[AchwaqKhalid]

@Jijigawi yes, i was referring to ali farka as the original composer along with ry cooder.

PS: and i know that Ry Cooder isn't dead.

[karenylahoruga]

me encanta la musica , es tan rico escuchar ese tipo de musica..me da paz, trankilidad, relajamiento, me pierdo al escuchar esta musica..i love it!!!

[ltuljo]

how sad that americans are so stupid that they heard this song just because of stupid movie and what's worse think it's related to sex.

[sirenaitalia]

The moments experienced in trust of fellow man are blissful emotions that are only lived briefly as not a single energy ever stays the same. Nature is change and change is constant. Live each moment as an individual experience. Don't allow the dread of disappointment to hold you down. Feel it...then release it, as change is coming soon.

[TheSoulsister1]

This man Ali Farka Toure and his son is PURE GENIUSES. Extraordinary intellectual power in this man and his son, when it comes to playing a guitar.Good does not come close to describing, what this man and his son has in playing a guitar. We love your music USA.

[ocmar0415]

Tribute & R.I.P Old King Ali Farka Touré... :'(

[nitanewsreader]

Ohhhh babyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhh­hhhh

[denismartinfr]

What a fucking great music !

[perrodetokio]

"Trust and faith in your fellow man has no equal.

If you have experienced trust you will know its strength.

You must know yourself before you know others."

What is sexual about that? There's absolutely nothing wrong with sex. However, the only sexual thing about this song is the movie where (erroneously) they featured it.

Peace

[GaiusAlexander]

@perrodetokio Thank you for translating these verses! "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." ;-)

[TheScrappyCat]

@perrodetokio You make an excellent point re the lyrics. But though others may feel differently, I have always found slow guitar blues to be very sexual music when played this well. 

[perrodetokio]

@TheScrappyCat Yes, of course. And I agree with that. I just wanted to point out that this particular song was being taken out of context, sort of speak, and I wanted to explain what the song really was about.

I do appreciate that I was a bit harsh in expressing it, though.

Peace

[MsCesper]

@perrodetokio can you translate some others song of Ali, please? for example Amandrai, what he says in that song?

[NinjaBooKitty]

@perrodetokio Actually, the lyrics seem to reflect quite accurately what was happening between Edward and Connie in that scene.Anyway, if it hadn't been for that film, I wouldn't have found this artist.

[Latabrine]

@perrodetokio .... This is my opinion : Although the lyrics are not sexual in anyway , I think it's the sensual way in wich the guitar is orchestrated ..the blues sound it eminates ..the way it makes us feel inside ..wich is ''maybe'' why the movie chose the song in itself ...it brings out something in us that makes us ''feel'' a certain way ..It does it for me anyway . So as I understand what you're saying ..It's all about what the music says to us all ..and I feel it's an undebatable subject

[znubzz188]

@perrodetokio I'm pleased to hear there are people in the world writing music on these sort of themes. this song sounds pretty sensual nonetheless

[giambattistasanzone]

@perrodetokio

i think, this has A LOT to do with sex. thx for the translation mate

[alkorkon2007]

@perrodetokio man, its not about lyrics, its about rythm of the song. people identifies it with kind of sexual encounter or way of thinking, or getting excited because any of the senses capturing whatever makes you turn on. sorry about my english, im spanish.

[alkorkon2007]

@perrodetokio acabo de ver que eres español jeje como decia, no es tanto la letra, sino la cadencia estimulante de la cancion, que sincroniza a mi parecer con el compas "embriagador" que tiene la atracción, lo cual es una fiebre de la que está impregnada toda la película de unfaithful, ya que describe como el estimulo sexual neutraliza por completo la nocion moral para llevarla a bailar a un terreno, digamos, promiscuo.

[Bigt010]

13 people are virgins

[tashichica]

i wna download this version! i love it...where can i download???

[radiantsunlight1903]

@tashichica Itunes! Ai Du.

[13janhald]

This is f******* great

[John61188]

Unfaithful?

[bir90]

@John61188 yes its frrom the movie unfaithful...its the scene they have sex

[mzimkhulunyeka]

A friend I just met told me about this song. After listening to it, I know I will never be the same again. Thank you, Sonia!

[dakarlion1]

Peace from Belgium too. This is so lovely. Indeed universal

[Greggdalord]

No need to overstand the lyrics to feel the music. Music is UNIVERSAL. Peace from France.

[stigrun1]

beyond profound expression wow

[TheSoulsister1]

These brothers are good,don't let BB King hear about this. Old BB might just die.Sounds like Mali music to me. I love Mali music.

[NIKEOFOREGON23]

Herd This on that movie unfaithful this shitt is Hard AF. Blues music at it's best.

[romeodiethio]

ali farka toure, the father of vieux, showd that the root of blues is in Africa. Martin Scorsese quated Ali as ¨ the DNA of the blues¨ That is RIGHT!

[gil78ful]

@ gaiusalexander

as a western european who loves this music and is NOT masturbating while listening to it I would appreciate that you take it easy with the sweeping generalizations, okay?

[GaiusAlexander]

@gil78ful

... just been irritated by the comments that call to mind pictures of sexual intercourse ... I hate generalizations also. My bad... ;-)

[GaiusAlexander]

You Stupid West Europeans, every time when something is highly emotional you relate it with sex!? That tells me about your state of mind and physical way of thinking. You have not moved much from the animals, have you? High culture my ass! Long Live Nationally Rooted Artists!

[mynthon11]

@GaiusAlexander

Indeed..and i doubt lyrics are about sex... not 100 sure but doubt it!!! This is pure soul...roots of blues...Close my eyes and travel :-)

[thibaultlukax]

@GaiusAlexander Nationally Rooted Artists, NRA ?? simply from the way you think i would say that iswhat you meant...

[starrocket666]

@GaiusAlexander What do you think humans are when they are striped of everything and left with what was naturally given to them,pure sexual desire.Most people who shy away sexually are usually closed up inside.To think about sex during this song is up to the person.You cant say whats right and whats wrong.Your view is taken and considered and disregarded.

[GaiusAlexander]

@starrocket666 :-D Nice! I'm glad that I have started some elevated discourse here... I'm sorry for hotheaded comment but our mortal nature, existing within the borders, should be surpassed by religion or art, the only two things that make a person truly free... Some people feel this song with their belly, some feel it within their heart... Chose a side ;-)

[Robertgregormcgregor]

@GaiusAlexander Sad and unecessarily offensive comment.

[MrArjun223]

13 r gay!!!!

[MrArjun223]

[pqboi]

@youssef0eddoumali good african blues music or more of vieux farka toure and his father ali farka toure.

[youssef0eddoumali]

@pqboi well , let's say both

[alileche1981]

amazing voice it's so wonderfull !!

[hotstepperish]

totally love it!!!!

[DANNYK678]

wat guitar is that?

[coiwe]

Blues with no frontiers, nor musical nor counties. Marvelous guitarist, pure, clean, with an unique left hand. What a feeling he can transmit with his guitar. Nothing to envy to Clapton. I'm amazed!!!!

[CamaraMr27]

Bon courage, continue, c'est magnifique... Vive le Mali, Aw Sambé Sambé ! Aw ni tié !!!

[lumbergirlk9]

I wonder if he has any other music as blusie as this.This is soooooo nice.

[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

[prnicho]

@Godess1971

Wonderful YES but could you explain what you mean?

You were at a live concert in the front row?

His fretwork is very.. I mean very VERY good. Reminds me of B.B.King

[MrStresow]

einfach super geil..

[djilyndiay]

just fantastic god i love it

[msOMFG25]

when i press play and let the song sink into my ears down my spine, it makes everything slow motion and gives me a little tease. Beautiful song, sexy blues.

:)

[sjaanlist]

oh yeah....

[garracremasangre]

ya quisiera eric clapton tocar la viola como este ZULU

[allsieme]

[fresusjeak1]

Saw him last night in my small town, he was incredible!!!

[Apostolic217]

[Godess1971]

@Apostolic217 I have tried to decipher these lyrics time and again and i dont know either

[sphinxfoutatoro]

thats real feeling! great aint got nothing to say ,only this is afro blues.

[njamcojka65]

That's art! Unbelievably good!

[alive942009]

on approche la perfection ou on y est ?

[mistyblues07]

Extraordinary Blues! You touch my soul man where ever you are!

Best Blues regards

[alive942009]

excellent !

[gemelasef]

morire escuchando Ali Farka Toure♥♥

[mrguilleuni]

exelente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[ddavis510]

So I know this doesn't matter to many or Vieux's fans, but I'd love to have translated lyrics. I know what the guitar and tone of voice is telling me, but I'd just like to know. OH and does anyone know what brand of guitar he's playing in this cut. When I saw him he was playing a Godin, not this one. This one looks like his fathers guitar.

[leftysergeant]

What a great blues guitarist. Watching some of these videos should be a good lesson on the African roots of the blues. Watch the man's fingers. Even on the guitar, it looks like he is strumming an n'goni.  This carries over to produce a sound that owes little to classical guitar techniques. He represents his culture and his country well to the world.

[njamcojka65]

Great artist !!!

[john1000003]

love it!

[mikea738]

thanks to the FIFA 2010 World cup for intoducing me to the genius

[balanzan5000]

Like father- like son.

Tel pere- tel fils.

Thank you for all.

[Geelljireqoqay]

looooooool Ammusi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this music gives me the strenght to make my 3 wives happy 365 days !!!

[ammusi]

if this doesn't make you wanna have sex - then i dunno... ; )

[blacksiska]

@ammusi i so agree with you!!

[ammusi]

@blacksiska ain't it the truth : D

[sillyangel1122]

@ammusi absolutely! LOL

[TheDalaiLayman]

@ammusi No, as a guy I don't want to have sex with an African man..

[ammusi]

@TheDalaiLayman I didn't specify with whom : ) BTW I like your handle.

[TheDalaiLayman]

@ammusi Thank You.. we are all Dalai Layman in the sense that God has made us all great sages... okay back to the sex jazz.

[ammusi]

@TheDalaiLayman I feel like a sage today : D I'm painting & in the ZONE - right, back to sex jazz....

[princessjoy007]

@ammusi the instrumental itself without the vocals is fire... i love this... and your right... you get that facade of sensuality... audible, liquid sex!

[ammusi]

@princessjoy007 lol I've never had so many replies to a comment! Hilarious... "liquid sex" - I like it, think I'll borrow that ; )

[youssef0eddoumali]

@ammusi I'm feeling you

[princessjoy007]

@ammusi its audible liquid sex.

[ammusi]

@princessjoy007 I stand corrected, AUDIBLE LIQUID SEX... :D

[mijesan]

@ammusi Great Idea! Although I prefer the Bolero from Ravel.

[nassreiskulturen]

@ammusi It makes me pick up my Guitar :-)

[boliper]

@ammusi cannot agree any more! amazing tune

[MrTuliza]

@ammusi you damn right abt that! coz its gonna break all bones, set ur adrenaline to that hornyness level, makin u want some!!! it sure can make you wanna have sex!!!

[FlyingFishbone]

wonderful

[brooklyngurl09]

i feel in love with this song after watching unfaithful

[amareto35]

People think blues came from the US, but it's not...

[thekingfist]

@amareto35 It certainly is. America is a blues nation.

[Greggdalord]

One good thing bout music, you don't have to overstand the meaning of the lyrics to feel it. Music is an Universal feelin'

[flickerman68]

kill me now... this song slays

[tillywitch6]

THAT DUDE! Kylie M's ex. Now....he is goooooood looking

[aishasahmed]

Amazing instrumentals...love the original as well as this live rendition. Simply amazing.

[lirvin27]

@aishasahmed yes, this is an amazing song. But can you please, please, please tell me where i can buy or find the original? I would really appreciate it.

[StrongHeartLives]

@lirvin27 - i'm not sure if Vieux recorded it too, but look up his Dad Ali Farka Toure: it's his dads song.

[krawallbutz]

@lirvin27 it is originally from his father and is part of the LP "Talking Timbuktu".
