Break the box | Heidi Joubert | TEDxCesena

Heidi Joubert ci racconta, accompagnata dal proprio cajon, quali sono gli effetti della rottura degli schemi nella sua vita e ci sprona a fare lo stesso "by breaking our box".
Heidi Joubert ama la musica: suona il cajon, canta, compone e nel corso degli ultimi quattro anni ha sviluppato la sua propria e unica linea di cajon. Ne ha curato personalmente la timbrica, che si caratterizza per una separazione molto netta tra i diversi suoni con alti nitidi, bassi profondi e potenti. Questi cajon sono progettati per incoraggiare e sviluppare una postura sana durante la pratica e la performance vera e propria.
Non trovando a Londra scuole di cajon né maestri, Heidi ha iniziato a suonare il cajon per le strade di Londra come busker, completamente da autodidatta. Proprio per questo, oggi ama condividere tutto ciò che ha imparato, attraverso i suoi corsi e costruendo la sua linea di cajon.
Heidi ha fondato e ora dirige le uniche due scuole di cajon in UK, organizza il “Cajonbox jam” di Londra e dirige il “London Cajonbox ensemble”. Le piace davvero insegnare e ispirare persone in tutto il mondo anche attraverso le sue video lezioni su KZbin.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I love you Heidi Joubert! Great example of authenticity and talent. Thank you for the great presentation!

[@HeidiJoubert]

Wow thank you for your beautiful comment!

[@vivienne6004]

Just by chance I found your video of playing the box with KiddoKat on the guitar. Your music is a breath of fresh air.

[@HeidiJoubert]

So glad you liked our Subway jam! x

[@mireimagesvideos2333]

Living outside the box is where the juice is; constantly pushing the walls of the box outward gives us a richer, fuller life, one that enables us to more fully express our potential. Great topic, and awesome job presenting, especially as Agata said below, what a tough frikin audience. They're the ones who really need to get out of their box. xo

Love you much my friend!

[@theshakerman5757]

@@HeidiJoubert "Love you more!" :) Thank you for sharing your magical spirit!

[@creative1111]

[@hcurcuru80]

At 15:16 so witty of her to include that bit

[@nickmiller398]

Wonderful talent, wonderful person. Stuck up crowd.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Thank you! They were Italian so perhaps it was hard to understand me... I hope that some of them understood 🤣

[@jacovermaak4550]

An outstanding and original artist. Great innovative sounds.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Wow thank you Jaco!

[@Max-oc6go]

She sounds like - a great and talented musician. Hope will be travelling Australia, soon.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Ah thanks Max! I look forward to perform in Australia one day!

[@TheTazz19655]

Love your performance Heidi

[@HeidiJoubert]

Thank you

[@branevans3705]

You're amazing!

[@AmyAndThePup]

This is awesome! makes me want to get up and dance, and I don't dance! Also, it makes me want to buy one for my boyfriend so he can play it since he has a bit more rhythm than I do! Maybe we could both play. Heidi's excitement is contageous! :)

[@HeidiJoubert]

Aaah thanks! I send blessings! Hope you eventually got a cajon!

[@annetteportella1225]

OMG this girl is amazing. I'm in love!

Heidi's great 👍 born Artist

[@HeidiJoubert]

Thank you my friend, so encouraging!

[@b737franc]

Very cool from another S African who also ventured out to start anew in another land.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Lekker man!

[@ezkibela]

Lot of instruments come or evolve from others, the spanish cajón came from the Perú one but changed, the spanish one has four strings inside the box while the ones from Peru or Bolivia doesnt. Its like the Hawaian Ukelele it cames from the Portugués Cavaquinho but the hawaians changed it a bit. And so that happens not just with instruments but with lot of things, some people see something they like then take it and transform it to another level , it doesnt have to evolve for better always just they made different things from one to another and then you can choose the one you like it more.

[@SAR1967Medic]

BEYOND amazing.... wowwwwwwwwwwww

[@HeidiJoubert]

🥰 Happy you liked it!

Great job Heidi!

Inspiring strong lady.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Thanks Mark

[@julienpillonca6686]

We are living strange times. This baby artist , cool but vegy beginer, considered as a great accomplised musician..... In every open scenes of every pub in every little town in the world, you will listen to the same nice ' musicians '. She is a least a very beginner in petcussion and she madd a method..... The result of a génération who always heard everything they did was genius. It s sad people are no more able to understand what is a real musician.

[@Guilherme-nc5li]

Can anyone tell me exactly how is she changing the sound of the cajon in the last bit?

[@sandcobainer]

You can say it is exactly like how a guitar player uses pedals for their effects.

[@HeidiJoubert]

@@sandcobainer Good reply

[@kathyomalley3753]

hi Heidi is the electric cajon run through the pa system as well?????

[@HeidiJoubert]

I believe so!

[@user-mk5in7qq4e]

Can we get an encore...

[@MattiK2609]

The microphone soooo needed some reverb for her opening performance!

[@HeidiJoubert]

I agree! We actually had it in the sound check but i think the engineer forgot to 'flip the switch'... It was not an easy start to the talk but hey, it made me stronger 🤣

[@jimmyholloway8527]

No kidding Agata Mikolajczyk. And I'm guessing from your name English isn't your native language, sorry if I'm wrong. It appeared her audience didn't speak it either. Heidi is phenomenal. I enjoyed her back story and that of the cajon.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Audience was Italian, and I was born in South Africa. I am so glad you enjoyed this talk!

[@hawkrider88]

She does a great job keeping the "breaking the box" concept all the way through the presentation. And it makes sense. Too bad she is working the mic so close...it has a lot of proximity effect which causes too much bass and almost some feedback in spots. Heard to hear in spots.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Thanks ❤

[@agatamikoajczyk3139]

What a tough audience.... Breaking the box not easy also in this case... :)

[@bubbanderson]

I don't think they were a tough audience.... just being reserved and thoughtful about an instrument 90% of them had never seen or heard before. Plus they looked old so had maybe come along for another speaker. You can't not like Heidi and maybe she was too much for them. Bit of a force of nature. She also crammed a lot of info into that session. I bought a Cajon last year, watched her videos and two weeks later did a gig with it. She certainly inspired me. What she didn't mention is that you can get beginners models for about 60 Euros which means anyone can have a go. So like the humble ukulele ideal for schools. Our gig was at a friend's garden party in a local village and she asked me to put a band together to play a 20 minute set. We did 2.5 hours and you could hear the unamplified Cajon 3 streets away ! These are cool instruments and you can do a lot with them.

[@efesli35]

they are just like death fishes in the box))

[@mielinebs]

scary audience...

[@HeidiJoubert]

@@bubbanderson Wow thanks for this lovely comment! I am very happy you like my work!

[@HeidiJoubert]

hahaha, great comment! To be fair though, they were Italian so perhaps they didnt understand a word I said... I hope not! 😅🤣

[@carlitogurkhali8604]

All the people complaining about the audience and praising her should have been the audience🤔🤔🤔

[@HeidiJoubert]

🤣

[@AlOne-xg6dv]

Mental strength and living energy. The audience is cold as ice, not empathy driven. May be they are in a BOX. I hope it released their ropes a bit.

Brasil

[@HeidiJoubert]

Brazil!

[@supertigrao]

The ''cajon'' is PERUVIAN

[@ezkibela]

Peru cajón is diferent from the spanish one , the perú and bolivian cajones dont have strings inside, the spanish cajón have four strings inside that make the sound diferent , so at the end they are diferent . Is like the ukelele that came from the portugués Cavaquinho , the hawaians took that portugués instrument and made it a bit diferent but it came from there just like the spanish cajón came from the Perú one.

[@abielmuren]

Why some people thinks TED people had to be boring or so?

[@HeidiJoubert]

😍

i love you and ist soooo funny - but you QUATSCHT GENAU SO VÜH WIE ICH

🤣😂

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

She's a hottie....an the crowd is PATHETIC-WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM?

[@HeidiJoubert]

Hahaha, it was a serious affair, and most of them were italian, so perhaps they didnt understand me! Either way, I loved doing this talk!

[@johnhefter3815]

They were respectful. This was an academic lecture, not a rock show in a bar or at a festival.

[@KevinRaubRocks]

Sooooooo talented. Crowd sucked

[@HeidiJoubert]

😘

[@maritzanc]

All good except that we didn't need Paco de Lucìa to become proud of our cajòn, you've got that wrong!

[@HeidiJoubert]

No Paco did not make the cajon great, but he played a vital role in the Cajon being more exposed to the 'western' world with the addition of the strings. The Peruvian Cajon is simply amazing on its own!

[@jmartmac]

Horrible poor audio EQ on this. Too Bad.

[@bent0r]

wtf

[@minavagante266]

Bla bla bla bla

[@ncrnw4385]

shite

[@hush7648]

Don't talk that much Heidi. Write a book maybe I read it.. Just break the box. And yes that audience was at the wrong place at the wrong time. like efesli said; dead fish.

[@HeidiJoubert]

Write a book! I would love to! hahaha. I would have played more but this is specifically a Ted TALK event... talking was an essential ingredient! Thanks for enjoying!
