Listening to Bobby McFerrin sing may be hazardous to your preconceptions; side effects may include unparalleled joy and a sudden, irreversible urge to lead a more spontaneous existence. The ten-time Grammy Award winner will always be the guy who sang “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” but his “greatest gift to audiences may be transforming a concert hall into a playground, a village center, a joyous space.” (The Los Angeles Times) What Bobby McFerrin does is not an act; it’s spontaneous invention. His legendary vocal performances have dazzled audiences all over the world and sent them home singing. With his new project, spirit you all, Bobby pays homage to his father (the opera singer Robert McFerrin, Sr.) and the generations of Americans who sang of shared joy and pain through the songs commonly known as the Negro Spirituals. McFerrin says, “Music for me is like a spiritual journey down into the depths of my soul. And I like to think we’re all on a journey into our souls”¦That’s why I do what I do.”
