I knew a little bit of Bobby Mc Ferrin but this performance is genius. The way he has full control over his voice, the way he's so liberated about it, free like a bird, so emotionnaly connected with other musicians... extraordinary people. Now I can see so much of Bobby Mc Ferrin's influence of Jacob Collier... he spoke about this performance in an interview. the little bird at the end, the liberated voice... even the way Bobby Mc Ferrin engages with the audience in other performances.
I love this song so much🙂! When my family was going through hard times and we fortunately had a home but barely enough money for food and clothes, my parents would always sing me to sleep with this song. We are still in hard times but we've gotten through most, thank the Lord! Even though we are still having money problems, we are rich in love!!❤
I can die happy now, having seen Edgar Meyer, Bobby McFerrin, Yo-Yo Ma, and Mark O'Connor play together. All that's left is for Sibelius, Micheal Andrews, Roger Waters and Victor Wooten to get together and have a jam session.
A lullaby band from Heaven! Of course YoYo and Bobby, but also check out the side men - master fiddler Mark O'Conner and world class Bassist Edgar Meyer! Nothing beats the joy of four musical masters getting together for a little light-hearted fun!
Starting on 01:13 is spontaneous improv from McFerrin. This little improv of his show his complete and utter control and mastery of his instrument i.e. his voice. It's so flowy and easy for him. I'm in complete awe and that smirk on Yo-Yo-Yo Ma's face is an indication that he recognizes it as well.
This lightens my soul. There's a really strong link between those people on the stage, see their faces and their trust in each other like "Hey bro, we like what we doing, we're doing it together and well. We trust in each other to make you cry, whisper "oh god..." or even laugh."
Just listened to Yoyo ma's new book on Audible and he mentioned his work with Bobby, as a long-time fan of both, had to look up and here it is! Wonderful.
I love the way the artists in this vid "communicate" with each other. Look at how Yo-Yo Ma and McFerrin looks at each other, so relaxing and smart too :)
what i like about yoyoma is that hes sooooo differernt, he plays classical amazingly, and yet he can have lots of fun!!! and do litttle easy funn things!!!
Such a joyful video! Their shared delight in their music, each playing his own instrument, is clearly evident. What a marvelous voice! I'd no idea who Bobby McFerrin was until this but I'm totally won over now.
wow what an amazing group of musicians. it is amazing enough listening to edgar meyer. and it is amazing enough litening to yo yo. and it is simply an honor to listen to mcferrin. aaah this is amazing.
gran tema para poner de alarma despertadora. genial. este es el lenguaje universal que no necesita un idioma porque todos son uno con el. from colombia south america
I've been going though some tough thing lately and even though those things aren't any better Bobby brought a smile to my face for the first time in a while.
You do realize that the VOICE was the first 'instrument' ever used to make music, right? Bobby McFerrin is a world reknowned vocalist who has ALSO spent decades perfecting his voice. He teaches masters level vocal classes, and has done performances the world over. I'm not really sure why you see a need to make some racist comment on a video people posted because it's light-hearted and sweet. Play it for your child, I bet they love it.
Makes me tingle with.... music! Yo Yo Ma plays with different artists who do different music. I love his new album Rodeo Sessions! You just see that they are loving what they do. Thats the only way you get great. You love what you do. And put a LOT of GOOD practice in. Thank you Bobby and Yo Yo!
i wanna be like yo yo ma some day. i had a workshop with bobby mcferrin and we learned how to sing like that with circular breathing. id never be that good but i wish!
Love when the best get together ... this is divine, they all clearly enjoy it and why the hell wouldn't they? Oh yeah, I love when the goal posts are raised!!!
I love the way they look at each other with admiration and respect
I swear I'm so glad you wrote that...I can't give enough praise for them..

He IS a Máster in knowledge of Técnic of any kind of Music. Further than his voice❤

It's so cute how happy Yo-yo Ma looks. You can tell laying the cello is really fun for him.
Okay Cimone. Understood.

Lol 11 years to correct a comment, 1st time I've seen that tbh
i love how he sings he has complete control over his voice.

I've been watching this for years, and it still chokes me up. These guys are the best.

The Korean subtitles give me hope that America exports more culture than just Britney Spears, McDonalds and reality TV. This is wonderful!
I feel like Americans are as reductive about their own culture as they are about all other cultures.
bts hehe
America exports everything culturally. We started punk, jazz, sort-of metal, and most influentially, all sorts of pop.
bobby mcferrin is a nut, his voice is so freakin awesome, its like an instrument that only he can play.
Love the eye contacts between Yoyo Ma and Bobby, brings a smile every time!

Work on delaying your gratification.
bobby is one of the most tallended acapella jazz singers..
possibly one of the oldest comments ive ever found
also talented*

Four world-class musicians, all masters of their instruments. I hope those people in the audience knew how lucky they were!!!
This makes me happy and lighthearted, they really look like their having so much fun^^
Love the fact that everyone was all smiles and were enjoying themselves in this performance. They just had so much fun:)
i would never cry if bobby mcferrin was my dad and sang this to me!
If Bobby McFerrin had a band, it should be these men. The chemistry is pure magic
Just listened to Yoyo ma's new book on Audible and he mentioned his work with Bobby, as a long-time fan of both, had to look up and here it is! Wonderful.
Bobby Mcfarane and Yo-Yo ma? I could only conceive of this combination in my sleep...or on youtube! Keep doin' wut u do gents!
I love the way the artists in this vid "communicate" with each other. Look at how Yo-Yo Ma and McFerrin looks at each other, so relaxing and smart too :)
Isn't that so incredible? What amazing breath support. Bobby is such a great musician.
Awesome !! Good mood is a must !!
Géniale, cette chanson !!
Phenomenal rendition of the classic song. McFerrin and Ma are so talented, they are a delightful pair.
Look at those smiles on all their faces. How could they not be smiling when what comes out is so full of joy and beauty...I love it.
SWEEEET! Don't forget about Edgar Meyer plunkin' away back there on the bass! He's a legend as well!
legit!!!!!
this is sick, just love when amazing musicians get together and make music!!.... true music!
I love how Yo-Yo Ma doesn't just play classical music!!!!!! He's a god at all of it!!!!!
These top talents were born to make this world a better place.
We are so fortunate.
If it's possible to like a video two three times (or more!) I'd do that on this one. Very very heart warming.
Bobby's smile is probably even better than his singing! He's amazing!
i love how he just has such a good time performing. he's definitely one of my favorites :)
계속 듣게 되네.... 중독성 있음 대박!!!!
if you dont have the God given talent in the first place, all the practice in the world will only take you so far.
Happy 60th birthday, Bobby McFerrin! Keep producing music to brighten our lives!
what i like about yoyoma is that hes sooooo differernt, he plays classical amazingly, and yet he can have lots of fun!!! and do litttle easy funn things!!!
This is how music should sound like
Man this guy knows how to enjoy the music he makes. This song makes me smile no matter what :)
When Yo-Yo Ma smiles, he makes me smile too
its incredible how he doesnt miss one damn note...
he is like this magnet. I came across people like this in my live... that's just the way they are. you just can't stop starring at them...
I'd forgotten how much I love that guy (Bobby McFerrin)... with Robin Williams or Yo-Yo Ma, or...
i like yo yo ma so much because he plays great classic and also can have so much fun playing fun fast pop songs
its rrly good!
I am with u , that is why the World is in so much trouble today...I fell sorry and pray for him...
Bobby McFerrin knows how to experiment, and because this we get gold like this.
I think thay are all great, and I think this kind of music can change the world to a better one.
LOVELY! My two favorite musicians as well!
and the cellist is yoyoma, arguably the finest cellist in the world today.
It's making me smiling. Bobby McFerrin I send you a big smile. Thanks for making me happy.
Amo esta música!! Contando ainda com as presenças marcantes de Yo-Yo Ma e Edgar Meyer, então! Perfeito!!
Such a joyful video! Their shared delight in their music, each playing his own instrument, is clearly evident. What a marvelous voice! I'd no idea who Bobby McFerrin was until this but I'm totally won over now.
wow what an amazing group of musicians. it is amazing enough listening to edgar meyer. and it is amazing enough litening to yo yo. and it is simply an honor to listen to mcferrin. aaah this is amazing.
I don't understand who in this world does not find this fascinating!
This man is a genious!!! His music has moved my heart. My favorite song of his is sweet in the morning. AMAZING!
I've never heard anyone who's as much of an instrumentalist on the voice as Bobby.
Bobby McFerrin: One of the greatest vocalist of the modern world.
Bobby Mcferrin and Yo Yo ma are my favorite... they rock out loud!

Yo Yo Ma.........only on the board of directors of Carnegie Hall. World class cellist. Phenominal entertainer. No biggie...
it's so refreshing to watch a video on youtube where all the comments are positive. Big up the Bobby McFerrin fahns!!!!! xxx
Yo-Yo Ma + Bobby McFerrin = MASTERPIECE
just got to smile
It's been too long since I've seen this, one of my favorite music videos on youtube. It was shown on a korean show too o.o lol
A super feel good happy song performed by master musicians! Thanks!

81 people will come back few years later and start like it::D
at the last part of the song its like bobby doesn't breathe for like 20 seconds with that note!!! amazing

There's some serious music power in that room.

Se nota que se divierten y gozan la musica. Me contagiaron. Muy bueno
its not a waste having them play this song if you enjoyed it then they have done their job
Everybody about McFerrin, i am facinated by Yo-Yo Ma....
This is amazing. I have been playing the cello for 11 years now and... speechless...
They look so happy so i’m also feel happy
Poor Yo-Yo Ma. He has to lug around that cello. Bobby McFerrin just has to show. : )
How can one room contain that much talent?
Oh Bobby...love your music! I have a big smile on my face from the first second of this song.
i think its great that yo yo ma and mcferrin could get together and do something like this
my little garden of memory..Still I love this song
I guess this proves that putting different cultures together doesn't always have to be bad.
Makes me tingle with.... music! Yo Yo Ma plays with different artists who do different music. I love his new album Rodeo Sessions! You just see that they are loving what they do. Thats the only way you get great. You love what you do. And put a LOT of GOOD practice in. Thank you Bobby and Yo Yo!
I haven't heard this in years, and it's in my protoplasm. What fun!
his range and control are just amazing
wow! Thats a 4 man orchestra, considering yo yo ma and others, Bobby Ferrin can imitate practically any instrument in the orchestra!
i wanna be like yo yo ma some day. i had a workshop with bobby mcferrin and we learned how to sing like that with circular breathing. id never be that good but i wish!
너무좋아하는 두사람의음악이 나에겐 좋고도나쁜추억이다…
How can you not be fascinated by this?
Love when the best get together ... this is divine, they all clearly enjoy it and why the hell wouldn't they? Oh yeah, I love when the goal posts are raised!!!
4 of the greatest together

I'm just speechless.
True artists indeed.
i love this song
Love everything about this!
I love how happy yo yo looks
The clip was made well over 15 years ago. The group, except Bobby McFerrin, went on to make at least two other albums with SONY with great acclaim.
