Boing Boing just brought you news of this awesome performance of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”. It’s unlike any rendition of the rock anthem I’ve seen, because it was performed flashmob-style by thirty musicians and vocalists on a street in Paris, much to the delight of all of the folks who were lucky enough to be wandering the street or hanging out in the nearby restaurants and cafes at the perfect time. What a magical experience for everyone involved in the production and for the bystanders who got to witness it!
The video of the performance was recently uploaded by pianist Julien Cohen, who describes himself as a “concert pianist and teacher” who brings his piano to “places you wouldn’t expect.” In this case, Cohen brought his piano to the middle of a sidewalk in Paris, where he performed Bohemian Rhapsody along with singers who popped out from behind doors and windows, and emerged on balconies. Lead singer Mickey Callisto, who did an impressive job with the iconic song, began singing as he rode in a human-drawn carriage. Soloists DDKN sisters, Sone, Coline Sicre, and Michael Koné also all did a terrific job.
