The program will include 4 training weeks in which international and local musicians will collaborate to train youth to lead music workshops, and together work with the children. In the first training week in February, Joey Blake, a voice artist and associate professor at Berklee college of music, will be joining the team.

Seriously, I start watching Bobby on Youtube and I am late for work every time.

They are literally 'speaking' to each other. That's the beauty of music i must say. They brought me to them without me even noticing. ❤️❤️❤️

Through this genious improvisation I can hear evolution of black music. Begins with mystical african chanting melody, and then upgrading to blues, soul, rap and some modern eclectic forms of house afro-beat. Spontenious improvisation but reflected from deepest parts of their souls. Regards and blessings

Caught myself humming and adding my own hook 🤣❤️

Many, many years ago, I was at a video library looking for a film to get out and there was a small group of three teenage boys wandering the aisles, just doing this thing where one or two would just be freestyling off one another, and the other would just point at a title on the shelves every couple of seconds and the other two would just roll it into what they were doing. It was bloody beautiful.

BF's bass range is getting even better with age...if it ever could do. What a fantastic, and sadly, underrated artist of our times.

Tonight on 'That Unusual Instrument!', Bobby McFerrin plays the carotid artery!

Alright, admit it when Bobby added in the beat your body automatically started rocking to the beat and didn't stop until they were done.
