Performance Taylor McFerrin and his dad, Bobby Music Instinct PBS

[@ahmedsredy2429]

To have one of the greatest vocalists that has ever existed as a dad is the ultimate honour .

[@nancyrevzen7798]

3 generations of musicians.Bobby's father was great singer!!

[@music_man_4043]

They look like they're having a good time. Bonding through music

[@metalcookiesxy70]

Raised and nurtured around the culture of music, the art is beautiful. I really want to meet them.

[@katherinekier]

I was today years old when I realized they are related I feel so silly lol so amazing to see them connect

[@Masauko1]

It is beautiful to know that the language of music can become a tradition in a household without instruments or computers just the body and soul...as Coleman Hawkins might have put it!

[@MissJessyeNorman]

I want more of Bobby's dad, Robert McFerrin Sr.. These two are very talented of course, but Robert Sr. is in a class of his own. The great musical genes were certainly passed from him!.

[@1965angel1965]

Wow amazing, that is such a wonderful sight. Bobby must be proud that his son has his own style and they can come together and fuse with such a great harmony. No I can't imagine what nightime lullabys must have been like but I can say that uniqueness brings about uniqueness in your children. Keep up the good works Bobby McFerrin and Family

[@joshuajarman]

Father and son time on a whole other level.

[@StraightAheadJazz]

PBS Deserves federal funding for keeping great arts like this alive!!!!

[@epocaliptos]

Thank you sooo much for posting this. I wish I could see them live. :(

[@beatbox.saiyan]

Would be so interesting to meet one of them !

[@narr2151]

WHICH ONE

[@beatbox.saiyan]

@@narr2151 honestly, wouldn't matter. Bobby's approach to music is just so different and interesting, but beatboxing is love, so meeting taylor would be as cool lmao. Btw.... crazy that my comment is already four years old lmao

[@herFLYness79]

I love this everytime I watch is. This is so amazing! I'd love to hear them on a project together. 💜

[@CDCANDIES]

OMG!!! Never made that connection! Fan of Father and was digging on Son Taylor for a little while now. It all makes sense, to Taylor is talented in is own right...

[@j00d00d]

Love how B gets all technical on his son at the end, awesome duo!!

[@James.5703]

amazing!! what an inspiration. pure rhythm

[@GabrielKnightz]

Is just me or did i hear the theme to sesame street somewhere in there.

[@vandasouzanogueira4928]

I love Bobby Mc Ferrin...sou do Brasil

[@therawproduct]

its an honor to have seen and heard this

[@ExotiqBeautii]

Much cooler than the Brady Bunch!

[@jayjayt135]

Road trips with them must be pretty epic...

[@gilangfrans642]

You ask them to go, I’ll drive

[@michaelw2711]

music keeps you on your feet.

[@joao_galante]

Great! J.G.

[@PeppoMusic]

So cool. My dad and I do this all the time as well. Though possibly not at this level. But it's still a lot of fun to do. :P

[@thelightinlife]

oh the tradition continues! wonderful to see!

[@BeatboxgreeceTV]

LOVED IT

[@arthurdunn1447]

Bobby's father, Robert McFerrin Sr. was also a great musician. He was a groundbreaking African-American operatic baritone. Look him up if you want to see more of this musical family

[@jonadimable]

all u guys who commented negatively to this...just got 1 question for all of u!!! "...can u do better?" In my opinion, these father & son team are one-of-a-kind!!! Im sure only a few individuals can do these kind-o-stuff!!

[@TheTripToPakistan]

[@blackberry11341134]

this is what Im talking about !!!! talk about DNA

[@raquelmjackson]

You guys rock!!!!!!!

[@Xenagabri]

Awesome beat, epic hair..

[@brentduanefoster]

Father and son talent AT IT'S BEST!!!!!

[@j00d00d]

Intro into a very kick-ass comedy.

[@almafa333]

Oh it's beautful and Taylor's locks are mad!

[@theperfecttoolmk]

Mindblowing.

[@satichu69]

If my father and I could have such exchanges, I think we would rarely ever speak...

[@bignosedmonky]

gold!

[@morrisal]

This is fantastic! (Bobby looks like he was 100 years old here.)

[@mkeym]

at 4:00. This man's voice is FLAWLESS!

[@mykolasbaranauskas273]

some crazy beats

[@olivierjosephson]

Bravo, tu dois être un fier papa

[@90mv]

beautiful father and son aww

[@Altovise0214]

3:49 LUV!!!

[@mkbell2003]

Growing up in the Mcferrin household must have been beautiful noise for sure.

[@jcmidi]

hermoso mucho gusto....mucho gusto....

[@swingingfred]

@MaxSabba Well I think the real difference here is not having fun or not, although Bobby makes erybody smile in seconds, he's contagious. It's just a question of being gifted, being unique. The music flows through him, it's easy for Bobby; Taylor must concentrate to get to that level of performance.

[@montrymanuel]

awesome :)

[@skippycarol]

I'm glad to see you taught Taylor to be his own walkman! Er, iPod.

[@masterexploder83]

@tastenschwein1991 that's probably due to this being a complete improvisation. Considering that none of that was predetermined, I think they were very well synced.

[@PeterArnold1969]

Bobby actually did the theme song for season 4 of The Cosby Show, a song called "Kiss Me"

[@be4tbybl4ck]

taylors hair is fuckin awesome!!1

[@MaxSabba]

big up for taylor! the only difference is that his dad is having more fun :)

[@downtowncowboy6554]

Aww young taylor

[@mtiff1]

lol. Thanks for pointing that out!

[@raisethemwell]

@gatoradeee LMBO!!! Never saw it that way, but yeah, so true:)

[@Theawkwardblock]

That breakdown at 2:38 just makes you wanna dance, no?!?!

[@awesumazn88]

I wish Bobby was my dad.

[@k1k13004]

I agree. Bobby is awesome, Taylor is just a normal beatboxer among million.

[@pearlsnpjs]

Yup it's scatting, aka improvising vocals. The individual "words" are called scatting syllables. Beatboxing in jazz is aka Vocal Percussion. There's a whole theory surrounding the notation of it, but luckily I've never had to write it. It's based on the solfege syllables I'd imagine (do re mi fah sol la ti do).

[@rafaelcapita296]

WTF,... Dope Family

[@guietharbor7229]

Открытие для всего мира. Очень интересный человек

[@Shadowcontheoriginal]

@aggielaxer Yeah his dad was on Sesame Street i can only imagine being lulled to sleep by the muppets and his dad. EPIC WIN

[@JorgeGarcia-nb9ru]

del tal palo tal rama!

[@simonhamellives]

@LiqourThatKilledTheC i wish i had a bobby like dad:(

[@Babulo1337]

Amizing!

[@adayinothersshoes]

PBS?.....I hope it never goes away:(

[@Horizonspace]

cool!

[@11792654]

his noises aren't spectacular, but his sense of rhythm and musicality are no doubt a result of his raising

[@eazypop]

awesome!!!! so whats the footage from???

[@bigyellow232]

I know it came on pbs can't remember what it was called

[@eazypop]

need to knowwww

[@ceciliagrisel499]

[@trishnewnes8786]

great

[@seriouse1009]

I tried to add in a beat while listening just for fun and I found there was nothing I could do to make this any better.

[@anajuajam]

Word.

[@marshacreary2442]

How cool is this

[@davidd4606]

Taylor look like Laurence Fishburne with dreadlocks...

[@frafra91]

Don't know about Bobby, but glad to see that his son is Rastafarian

[@Cat919]

@gatoradeee !! Was the first thing that popped into my head when I started the video! lol

[@56844398]

Someone knows the name of the classical piece he is singing in 3:46? Thanks

[@1974spr]

I really don't think Bobby would mind his son coming first at all. :)

[@Ysalomet]

...and he did it all A Capella How 'bout them apples :-p

[@MrMaestroHughes]

holy shit 3:46 is unbelievable... I mean the whole thing is but damn!!!!!!!!

[@gatzbilives9499]

what opera piece did he perform at the end?

[@LadyofWar1980]

@gladevil Bobby's hair is fine. Taylor on the other hand....

[@SH-UK030]

最高❗

[@Shadowcontheoriginal]

Probably play I spy and i Spot the Hip hop Zoobadee bop. Sounds like fun.

[@DubSlugg]

is it me or does taylor look like a young laurence fishburne with hair

[@forgetyoself]

[@kdennard]

Sweet!!! :-) NIce :-) youuuu diiig! :-)

[@lilfrenchfry14]

ok so this is prob the sweetest thing ive ever seen, but after saying that wtf is up with his hair? lol

[@iwritesongs6965]

Wouldn't this be a cool way to resolve a dispute?

[@katchookatchoo]

Where?!

[@KehoeTV]

Sounds kinda like the Cosby Show intro!! hahaha

[@peytonjmusic]

ALRIGHT

[@LSventickas]

Well, there's not much difference actually, however, the fact remains, that Bobby spent almost his entire life to earn his respect and rightful name, while Taylor, his son, (I don't e has his own expectations, who has his own goals, his own views for the future, should decide himself whether he is going to be as good as Bobby... Anyway, I personally think, that you shouldn't be so disrespectful for Taylor, even if you do have a point; Even if you're some kind of a super talented musician. :)

[@mp3theentertainer]

4:14 til the end (REPLAY!)

[@davidd4606]

looks :)

[@crabolsky]

@tastenschwein1991 probably due to the fact that this is improvised.

[@codythompson1334]

how could even hit the dislike button this is sooo cool lol.

[@joelfrijters393]

2:28 "An ma bona..."? :)

[@SandroTavartkiladze]

2:31 KUTAISI!!!! გაგება და ამბავი სიმონ
