It was a normal day at a mall in Hamburg, Germany when an unassuming blonde woman in a white top grabbed the attention of all the busy shoppers. She didn’t use any special effects or fancy arrangements- just her beautiful voice. And it’s more than enough to catch the crowd off-guard and fill them with wonder! As the lovely inked lady started singing, a familiar tune reverberated around the place. Confused about where the interesting melody was coming from, everyone started to look everywhere, trying to pinpoint the source.
But before they could even react, the surprise show went on immediately. Just a few moments later, a full band started to emerge in a straight line out of nowhere. And everyone was too in awe to continue whatever they were doing. The group of musicians lets out a powerful mashup of Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us” and Queen’s “We Will Rock You”. It was a perfect fit! The musical team was so energetic and inviting that the audience decided to jive in and sing along. They just couldn’t help themselves! And the rest was history.
Imagine hundreds of random strangers joined together, stumping their feet and clapping their hands along to the rhythm. Now that’s something you don’t get to see anywhere today. In case you’re wondering, the wonderful unifying event happened on July 6, 2013, as mentioned in the video. It was such a long time before the pandemic has pushed us to close our doors and stay inside our homes. This was a time when mass gatherings were celebrated and artists were still allowed to have public performances such as this. And, as you can see, it never fails to bring magic to humanity.
Watch the incredible video below that will fill your heart with joy and even make you feel a bit nostalgic.
Music has yet again united everyone and brought humanity together. I wonder when will be the next time that we get to freely see some flash mobs and public performances without fearing for our health.
