I could listen to this all night, awesome
-
he's not playing full chords as such , just using the low G , D or A to drone and playing fast hammer ons in the malian style , a lot of it is transferred across from the xalam , watch his hands and check out his other vids , chuck in a bit of minor pentatonic blues scale but with a twist on certain notes.

If that's the impression I gave then I apologize. Malians are among the most honest, gracious, and inviting people upon the Earth. In my time there, I saw many "white westerners" mostly there for the music festivals and some there to learn various instruments.
They haven't had the history of "whites" taking their music and making money off of it while ignoring their contributions as has been the case with Africans in the Americas. So the suspicion and resentment isn't present.

Furthermore, Ali Farka himself gave a great wealth of information in his interviews. His first album was simply traditional Songhai and Fulani songs played on the guitar rather than traditional African lutes on which he first learned to play.
If you listen to Oumou Sangare, who is Fulani and from a completely different tradition (Wasulu in southern Mali), you'll hear the exact same riffs and style as Vieux is playing here.
Mali has a wealth of music and great musicians, mostly unknown.
