Glowing tribute to Bobby Mac Ferrin
As a lyrical singer, i have been moved by Maria Callas or Joan Sutherland and their voice touched me very deeply. They are part of this willing of transmission, of my passion for opera.
I am not a classical lyrical singer. I must create. I feel board easily and it make me be creative...
I must confess that there is one great singer that opened my mind.This singer is Bobby Mac Ferrin.
His song "Don t worry , be happy" using his voice as different part of orchestra, playing with his voice was a positive upheaval. It gave me appetite to think deferently. To go over the limits of a classical opera house. I began to find solutions to this question "how can rejuvenate opera?".
I love his album with Yoyo Ma when they exchange the voice and music parts. I listen to it steal.
It gave me energy to live my passion differently, then i created "Enchanted Monuments": the discovery of different acoustics of monuments, then Enchanted hot-Air balloon came and then Enchanted boats and then Aqua(com)munication...
If i could make a wish: to meet this amazing person and positive man.
Thank you ever so much !!!
