The art of listening | Kabeção | TEDxVilaNovadeGaia

An handpan performance. Everything begins in silence. In this hectic world, we need to stop and listen to ourselves, our bodies, our breathing, our lives. Kabeção fell in love with sound exploring during childhood. Self-taught, he never stopped since then to experiment with different types of instruments - from strings to woodwinds - combining eclectic influences and his very personal approach to sound into powerful music. Finalist on Portugal "Got Talent" (2015), he traveled with his handpans/pantams across more than 20 countries; in Europe, Asia and America.
The benevolent international community gathered around his music crowd-funded his first long-awaited double album "TOUCHING SOULS"(2017). During the following tour, Kabeção composed new pieces inspired by the human and musical experiences he shared around the globe. He launched another successful crowdfunding for his second opus - "FREEDOM EXPRESSIONS"- a triple album with guests, released in 2020.
Kabeção designs - in collaboration with YISHAMA - original and unique layouts that inspired an entire generation in the handpan history. In 2020, he opens the Pantam School in Portugal. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

We need English subtitles!!

[@filipesantos-silva9407]

Translation needs approval from TED translators and takes some time. Use youtube automatic translation to your language.

[@mohit4399]

[@nahuelhandpan]

Solamente los subtítulos son un límite muy fuerte. Sólo portugués?

What is this thing called

[@thunderstrum645]

A Handpan I think

[@branislavromancak8514]

Originaly it's name is hangdrum, but yes you can call it as handpan or spacedrum...

[@Jonas_Gebauer]

@@branislavromancak8514 it's called handpan or Pantam. Never hangdrum (it's not a drum) nor spacedrum (that's a maker).
