Reacting to Bobby McFerrin - Improvisation - Day of Song (First Time Hearing)

Don't Worry Be Happy..was the first Bobby McFerrin Song I ever heard. Little did I know he does way more than recorded music. He has a unique talent. This is what I learned watching his performance live at the Day of Song, which was a recommendation - thank you so much. Do you agree that he uses a lot of modern Beatbox elements here?

This is beat box for adults. I saw him live in San Francisco 30 years ago Changed my life for ever.

For some serious beatboxing, check out Bobby McFerrin - Drive (Live from Montreal)

One thing that you might have missed is that it isn't just the typical tapping of the chest. He is using four separate types of taps to produce four separate results. If you play close attention, sometimes he taps with his palm/wrist, sometimes his finger tips like a drum, sometimes whole hand, and on occasion his only taps himself with just the thumb. He also taps in slightly different areas, which also affects the sounds.

His work with Bach is incredible

Not an illness but a style.

He basically did the loopstation thing, well, not exactly, but you know "Dont worry be happy". That is all him. Just a bunch of layers of him. All of it. Including the whistling. The song has no instruments other than Bobby. I have seen a life performance where he builds the entire song, not with a loopstation, but with a tape recorder.

They were filming his feet because part of the total sound from the beginning was his feet. Go back to the top and watch.
