Bobby McFerrin - LIVE Improvisation at The Kennedy Center 

Imagine having him as a music teacher. That'd be the best class ever.

its like getting only the good parts of a cult

okay but that baby's laugh of pure joy at 2:25

Can't stop smiling everytime i see this man's performance Am I the only one here from 2024 !?

when you cant afford loop pedal but u have a village

He hits African culture and makes me love my culture the more. The way he also carries everyone along including the audience thrills me

The baby giggle from the noise he has the crowd make is so special and heartwarming @2:24

dear aliens, this is the music from planet earth; the sound of peace and love!

I like how he creates that atmosphere like he is the kindergarden teacher and the audience is just the kids singing. In a way it takes all the adults back in time because there is just a easy and careless feeling to what he does which makes us remember of the time when we were kids.

He uses human beings as a giant loop station, and then turns some of them into individual instruments. There is no music finer than this!

Nobody, but nobody, can play and audience like Bobby. What he dose is magic.

5:07 full body chills. This man is the epitome of music. Can make anyones inner musician speak freely. Theirs only few people like him in the world.

I couldn’t stop smiling for the whole video

I bet Bobby McFerrin never gets unhappy. Anytime he feels himself becoming sad he just needs to start singing to himself. No-one can still be sad after hearing Bobby McFerrin.

He played the audience better than my ex-girlfriend played me

It’s sound like Lion King!!! 😄

The lady in the crowd who starts at 5:07 literally gave me goosebumps. She sounded really good.

Hes not even saying any english words and I somehow understand it and I want to cry because its beautiful

5:50 man in the middle clapping completely off the beat is so me

That shows the power of the music as an universal language... "Music can express something that words can't"

Why didnt Disney use the Talent And Magic of this Man ? ..... Bobby McFerren = Spiritual Music

2:54 I love how he can silence them all with one sound and wave of his hand!

The fact that at 3:00 he changed the whole thing and started this lion king type groove I couldn’t stop singing along lol

Who needs war with such beautiful human harmony

2090: Government has confiscated all musical instruments because music gives people Hope. Then this happens...

This was trully awesome, but that man clapping at the wrong time in the middle of the fucking choir at 5:50 is hilarious.

Let's put Bobby McFerrin in charge of world peace. What a talent. What a soul....

This can cure the worst of illnesses.

He speaks to hundreds of people simultaneously without using any words. It doesn't matter who is in that audience they can all do this together. He has mastered this art in his simplicity. What a beautiful soul bringing people together through the universal language of music

No one plays the Human Instrument better than Mr McFerrin.

feels like we're in this together... like i'm not alone anymore. WE'RE TOGETHER FOLKS

At 3:05 you’re in the obligation to think about the "Lion King” 🔥 That’s a real African music

I found god.

The first instrument on Earth was the human voice. Wow...

This is what world peace would sound like if it was music

Does he just walk around with a chamber choir to do this just whenever he needs it? I would gladly be apart of it.

Music has no language. Music is an universal language ;)

No words were spoken...but the people understood! Music truly IS a universal language

shouts the man in the middle with absolutely no sense of time

I love how he’s letting everyone participate in singing😭

2:26 that precious laugh of that child is the best part of this video

Huge smile on my face, made me feel like a kid again. Absolutely love this guy wow

My dogs are looking at me trying to figure out why I'm dancing in my chair. This is perfection right here

He is such a special man & spirit. Makes my heart happy.

The guy at 5:52 in the background couldn't get in time with the clap! This is my life.

This man is the definition of SOUL!

Why am I crying?

Филипп Бедросович, учитесь, как делать Шоу только с хором, залом и микрофоном!) Бобби - Величайший Музыкант современности! Причём, безо всяких инструментов)) Гений!

I got chills literally everywhere from this. Legit even my cheeks were tingling

2:24 is that a baby laughing? XD

That one lady was gonna steal the show if he let her run away with it haha great show!

Musical at it finest, the human loop effect just make live music "livelier"

the most important instrument are your vocal cords

Every time I watch this video I feel a sense of freedom and happiness

The last piece sounded almost like "in the jungle" originally recorded by a south african group. In fact, sounds like they're warming up to sing it. In the jungle the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...

Look how much fun we can have together. Imagine being on a boring 10 hour plane flight and nobody is afraid. It would sound something like this.

1:07 When he says "Eh" it reminds me of Day-O song, _"Daylight come and me wan' go home"._ ♫ ♪

I don't know why but this song makes me so happy to the point of real happy tears, Thank you so much for this gift too earth.

This made, not my day, but my week. Awesome what talent can do.

Bobby!!! Thank you for this happiness ❤💯❤

The beggining is like a crowd of little sweet children are running and playing on my soul))

The joy in the baby laughing at 2:25 is what music does to you. I just hope the child isn't corrupted by the garbage of today and loses the joy in simple real pure performances like this

I said many times..bobby is a genius ! 🎶🎤🎵😄👏👏👏👏

It’s like the origins of music.... perfected.

I ended up clapping and singing at this lol

My whole life over the last 4 years has been an almost constant struggle of looking for my passions & purpise and my soul has become tired of it. All i want to do is make others shine through my own shining.

This man has a large portion of humanity held within his heart. Such power.

I just can say something, THIS IS MAGICAL!!!!!!

I wish I can be part of one of his audiences at least once in my life. This man is a wonder of life! Love you Sir McFerrin

Just when I thought this couldn't get any better, he passes the mic to the audience and they keep rocking it!

How many came here because of the Key and Peele skit

This is my new song! I know I can never go wrong with the lyrics. Tsawmo wela wela x10 Lalalala x2 Weeeee x2 Oooooooooo x1 Tsawmo wela wela x10 (Base)

How can you dislike this?

7 minutes of making me smile and happy. It's just awesome how some persons have such a good aura and positive energy.

Wow...!!! I love this guy and his great art of celebrating life, his voice and love for being...❤!!

This is the best of humanity. It's a celebration of life and joy and love and music.

It all sounds very South African to me 🇿🇦

This is emotion ! :D I love it !!

Pure magic

Only Bobby can do this... True artistry...

I feel like Bobby McFerrin and Freddie Mercury would've had a blast onstage together

i love my people dearly but god this makes me jealous by far african music is superior to my peoples own music but beauty is in the eye of the beholder you did great bobby! always giving the entire crowd and the listeners a smile :D

@ 2:27 when the child bursts out laughing probably due to all the chills they got from that sound effect, soo beautiful

When you no longer need a loop pedal because you can afford a village.

The lady at 5:12 understood the assignment 😊

This should be prescribed by doctors, no matter what happens to you❤️

i literally clapping when the girl sing and improv ! soooo good

Mr. Bobby McFerrin came to the Bay Area and every venue he was to be at sold out before I could get a ticket 🎫. I cried.😢 Well, if I never have the opportunity to see him perform live again. I will hold dearly the memory of the time I did get to see him 20 years ago in San Diego, Ca which was one of my most magical musical experiences. I will never, ever forget it.😌

Bob Mc Ferrin,.... El instrumento humano más versátil jamás visto....!!!

Потрясающий музыкант 🎷🎺🎸🎻 несёт людям в душу, позитивный настрой 🤹‍♂

Interactive concert. Audience happy that's the goal. And he brought it with his talented, skillful vocalizing technique. God Bless Him

Blessed to see Bobby 4 times. . . Including front row once. He is amazing!

Боже, даже без слов можно подхватить мотив и как угодно импровизировать..... Хотелось бы побывать на таком концерте, но увы..... Остаётся только желанием. Спасибо, ютубу за такие находки для меня.....

Happiness in sound - without a band and without words; just sounds and a very talented improviser 😊

I love the kids laughter a couple of minutes in. Several minutes of pure joy!

why am i only discovering this amazing talented man today?😭

I always try to do this with my Sunday school kids.... We stink man🙄

Bobby has always had his powers on full display. He is the perfect human instrument.

This guy is absolutely one of my favourite artists

Bobby is pure genius and love, everything he does with music is just incredible
