Dangerous Rythms
Listening to:
Thinking of:
Royal Albert Hall on a Sunday evening... No expectations in mind except I was in a queue to get tickets to watch Bobby McFerrin live on stage. Bobby who? The guy who did 'Don't Worry Be Happy', conductor, pianist and one of a kind vocalist. Singing? Hmm... well, we've heard that before. Well, to put it simply, McFerrin is pretty much in a class of his own in terms of being an ambassador of music from the Jazz and Classical part of the world. Able to simulate instruments and "roti man" bells among part of his skill, in short he'll take on Beat Boxers and would blow them all away.
Accompanied by the band "Impure Thoughts" and the African Children's choir, it evening was brilliant. Think, a standing ovation in Royal Albert Hall with feet stamping 3 times and calls for encores. The performance was sublime from the free jamming sessions to playing the piano with feet.
I could go on and on about this performance. It was just mind blowing... streaming it over the internet really doesn't do it any justice, really... but either way, here goes the link.
Bobby McFerrin, live at the proms
