I went to an open concert last night … it was at the Sandalford Winery, a bit North East of Perth, in an area called the Swan River. Besides the good wine and the interesting food – being a vegetarian I get a lot of surprises.
The gem of the night was to be Michael Buble which I enjoyed very much. Not only MB can sing well, he is a good entertainer and we had many good laughs – including the part where, after asking people to show their enthusiasm and dance, he had to tell them people that did, to go back to their sits so we could all enjoy the show: “You guys, these people here in the front row paid a ton of money, I know I told you to come and dance but they can’t watch the show so forget what I told you and get back to your sits, com’on…” hahaha (I was sitting in the front row.
But to me, the real AHA was this group: Naturally Seven. You know, I’ve always said that we need to work on what we are passionate about, not what we are good at (little twist, great results)… because when we are passionate about what we do it shows, we spend a ton of time working at what we like and we developed an expertise. So, passion has to come first, and drive the skills, not the other way around.
Naturally Seven creates music a capella, the instrument is their voice… and gosh they are from heaven.
I can imagine if I were the mother of one of these kids telling them: are you telling me you want to be a voice drummer? or can you get serious? I don’t know if they received many: get real, or get a job, or study… but I’m surely glad they do what they do.
They amazed us, made us laugh, sing, clap and jump… not only one, twice, thrice but many times… they rocked, we rocked. What a fantastic experience. Unique, authentic and connecting.
… and one more thing… I also admire these guys because they are black men and they don’t get it easy… wonderful entertainment, and inspiration.
They ended their show with a phrase: God Bless…
Blessings back, guys…
PD: their site is here: naturally seven
