Thank you for your comments, and thank you for staying calm while being informative. I love Ali, and I was born in Ethiopia. I too play the guitar, things I have seen my bigger brothers play and some my own, i can relate to Farka, are you form Mali? It's my dream to go there one day. Some West Africans say that I am 'Peul' (:
I agree with jipes! This is just so goooood!!! Amazing! It sounds like two guitars playing. Yes, the blues. Fresh. Potent. Happy!
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.
I'm not from Mali but father's ancestry is Nubian and Songhai. Mother may be Puel but her heritage is so mixed it's impossible to be certain. My brothers all came out very black like my father, I used to envy them for that.
I've spent time in Mali learning Kora although I regret I didn't get there in time to see Ali Farka before he passed on. If you want to hear some bad ass guitar players, go to Mali and listen more than you speak and watch more than you play.

What is the greatest legend of Africa blues
Belle music.
I am a Nigerian but I love this young man music
My heart just STOPPED at 1:37, and I cried, "UNCLE! I cry uncle! You may well be one of the best guitarists in the world! I admit it! My musical heart is yours...."
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.
great music full of real pleasure of playing
Tu es très fort frère
Thanx for the info bro! I shall go to Mali....
Awsome!!!!
Super culture cool
grande
You should go to Mali and see the music played for yourself. You won't find much in the way of books or documentaries about the music of Mali because the French did everything in their power to marginalize the culture.
Vieux is playing just like his father just at a faster pace and with electric rather than acoustic. Listen to how he plays the drone beat under his improvisation. This style is peculiar to Mali and American Blues.
The Kora, Makele ngoni, and ngoni, are all played in that way.
Well-done Farka toure ali
I am a blues player from the US. I am just getting into this amzing stuff. Does anyone know what tuning he is using on his guitar. send me a message if you can help me figure this out.
@Rebelconformist82 Sure as eggs is eggs , don't be afraid to tune that bottom E right up , stick a capo on the 3rd
le Mali a beaucoup d'instrument traditionnel il suffit des les développer
G A D G B E
Does anyone know what tuning he is using on his guitar
sounds like Tinariwen to me, ¿sure just tuned up the low E to G? Thanks for the info, I will try.
He is Songhai like his father. Maybe part Fula
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.
Desert Blues.
is vieux mandeng?
@exeterguitar ok cheers what chords is he playing open?
@exeterguitar are you sure?
he is not using a tuning !!!
@Rebelconformist82 sure as eggs is eggs
