Queen Tribute - We Are The Champions - Child Prodigy Cover | Maati Baani |

Maati Baani pays a shining tribute to the genius of Freddie Mercury and Queen. We found some of the most gifted kids across the globe to put this song together!
To see a kid perform like a maestro is rare and that we get to experience this pheneomena first hand by working with them, it humbles us.
If you know any kid who plays or sings like it’s a child’s play do drop us a mail on [e-mail]

[@lfp._1883]

Ok, the boy on the drums, the guitar one... But did you people play piano at some point? By far one of the hardest instruments to start to learn

[@waxstrips]

With violin, it’s so difficult just to get one note out. But piano is difficult as well.

[@lindakjellman3800]

Yes, piano is a very difficult instrument. However, it is by far not the most diccifult to start to learn. Most people know at least something on the piano and it will sound decent right away. Instruments like oboe and violin are WAY more difficult, because it takes years just to get a decent tone out of it.

[@sophierindlisbacher9871]

I guess you can never really say which instruments are the hardest to play - it probably wonˋt take you too long to play something decent on the piano, in contrary to e.g. the violin. but itˋs extremely hard to become a good pianist. Iˋd say itˋs always relative. What matters: These kids are extremely good in what theyˋre doing and itˋs a pleasure to hear them :)

[@lindakjellman3800]

@@sophierindlisbacher9871 Yes, I totally agree.

[@robertbarber3373]

@@lindakjellman3800 it depends on what you mean by decent. It takes a lot of time and practice to get a really nice sound out of a piano. I do agree that with string, wind and brass instruments it's often significantly harder to get the right notes in tune but don't assume that the piano is easy

[@arcturion1321]

HOW is the drummer only 4 years old? He is so good tho
