Does Down Syndrome Occur More In Different Races

Bobby McFerrin: The pentatonic scale is in us

I've always said: If I could steal someone's talent, would be to Bobby McFerrin. Not only has an incredible vocal ability, that makes "My voice is my instrument," a true reality. It is also an accomplished artist with great creativity and charisma on stage.

Under the World Science Festival , McFerrin was a panelist in the discussion called "Notes and Neurons: In search of a common chorus, which is about our response to music in our cultural background. Bobby, being a master of improvisation, mounted one of his famous performances where he uses the audience as a chorus.

I have seen many of these performances, but this in particular is impressive. Here the artist shows that people are able to "guess" the pentatonic scale, that scale and really "live" within us. It is a demonstration that has in many places, and regardless of what culture is, people always able to follow. It is important to remember that the hearing in this case, n or is formed by musicians but by people from the scientific community .
