Bobby McFerrin is one of the natural wonders of the music world.
The ten- time Grammy winner has probably become most famous for his 1988 hit “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” But, with a four-octave range and a vast array of vocal techniques, McFerrin is no mere singer.
He is music’s last true Renaissance man, a vocal explorer who has combined jazz, folk and a multitude of world music influences – choral, a cappella, and classical music – with his own ingredients.
His recordings have sold over 20 million copies. McFerrin’s latest album, his first in five years, is a travelogue that journeys into the rhythms and sounds of the Far East, Middle East, Africa, South American and jazz – showcasing his vocal and instrumental skills.
Guests:
Bobby McFerrin, vocalist, musician, songwriter, conductor.
