yeah I tried it, hated it, give me the tracking room with the lights out preferably. I don't get people who'd wanna track in the control room really

well, early on he seems to say "viva la musique de mali-uh"
yeah, for as far as i was able to stand watching, all of his lyrics seem to be "Vivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, la musique x", where x is "malien" or "berbere" or "tinariwen" etc

Yeah totally. From what I can tell of the audience it's 80% Malians who might well have no idea who U2 are (is this a false assumption?) and 20% tourists who certainly didn't travel all that way to watch Bono ruin Tinariwen's set. xp

Robert Plant is really into this stuff though I would guess & knows a good deal about it
what's he doing at 13:00 where he yells, throws his hands up then does a weird hand move, then keeps repeating this?
― JacobSanders, Friday, 9 March 2012 23:40 (twelve years ago) link
plant has been proven to be way cooler and have way cooler taste than bono a million times over though, i could dig seeing him
― a little tiny crunk person (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 9 March 2012 23:40 (twelve years ago) link
now that i think about it, it's kinda surprising and awesome that plant has kinda evolved into one of the coolest and dignified and most comfortable in his own skin down-ass brother type classic rock icons...which, given his zep image and persona, wouldn't have seemed like it would be the case

coincidence, or the direct sociopolitical impact of the performance which began this thread?
An official decree banning all western music was issued on 22 August by a heavily bearded Islamist spokesman in the city of Gao. "We don't want the music of Satan. Qur'anic verses must take its place. Sharia demands it," the decree says.
...
This year in January, no doubt the last festival to be held in Timbuktu for a while occurred in an atmosphere of high alert after recent kidnappings and the murder of a German tourist by al-Qaida. The event was attended by Tinariwen, a host of other Touareg and Malian musicians and Bono.
