I'm a classical musician and am used to playing Beethoven, Shostakovich, etc., and I must say that this is WAY COOL! Mesmerizing rhythms, boundless energy and joy. And I know how hard it is to play those rhythms and keep it so tight and together, so bravo to all the musicians here!
Abel is not only "genre-defying", he's gravity-defying. What a musician he is, but also what a superb ensemble he is making music with. Such passion, joy, and astonishing musicianship all around. Bravissimo.
Yes you wouldn't. Just had the opportunity to see them yesterday in Berlin Konzerthaus. I am speechless. I didn't know what to expect, since I got the ticket as a gift and just went in without knowing what I will witness. Still get the shivers thinking of it.
When the drummer just goes full send at the end it's as powerful and enlivening to witness as most rock drummers need a full kit to be. This whole performance is awesome.
I am returning to music after a prolonged hiatus. Can I tell you how lovingly agitated and restless this made me??? The creative excellence here struck a deep cord of longing and reminded me of the sanctity of what we are as singers,musicians and performers. This was Brilliant. Thank you.
This deserves so many more views. It really melted my brain when a friend shared this with me. As a cello student is awesome to see the cello being explored with different styles and rhythms, it is something I want to achieve with my culture, as latin music on cello is not that common or explored (latin american here) This is so inspiring!!! pD:loved that polymeter
Thanks Bernardo! It's what really gets us excited as well - collaboration with friends and colleagues from different worlds. Keep fighting the good fight!
hey there, in Arraigo Cuarteto channel we have uploaded two argentinian songs arranged for cello quartet, and four more latinamerican songs are to come. Our playing is not technically unconventional, but although we were classicaly taught we aim to give due value to music from our land in a rather unexplored format. as you say, it's great to come across this type of artists. listening was a joy for me too
I am speechless! It remembers every cell of your body about what life is about: pure energy.... i am just done ...thank you ... you are blessed!! Awesome musicians 🔥
What wonderful spirit these people have projected, and for it all to be captured on video too. How wonderful :D A voice and way i am unfamiliar with, but is so beautiful
I've never heard of Abel before until today when I stumbled on his music on Facebook. Wow, dude you just reminded me of the artist within me, my spirit is rattle with this sound.
My wife shared this with me and I can not stop listening to this. The rhythm, the energy, the excitement in their performance! Being a musician I feel inspired to pick up music again!
Just added this to my favorite songs playlist. I love it! I'd love to see this (and other works) in a live outdoor concert setting. This is phenomenal!

Exactly ! I'm a drummer in love with odd signatures and this is just sick ! So fucking rock
Agreed

the cut to the crowd had me shocked like how are yall not moving to this at all??? phenomenal stuff!
They're in Manchester. A waltz or foxtrot should get them moving
@@Skizze37lmao
I have a young cellist at home who just discovered Abel and is absolutely inspired by him.
this kind of energy can wake up the world
Yes you told the correct one

How can I not have heard of either Abel or the collective before this? I'm sharing it with everyone I know. Fantastic! My music find of the year!
I just heard him for the first time on PBS television this last week. Love it! 👍😊
