Beat that box! Beath that box! Beat that box!

Naturally 7 has truly outdone themselves this time. They decided to put on a show where they attempt to emulate an entire band, complete with bass guitar, snare drum, bass drum, high-hats, keyboard, synthesizers, vocalists, and a whole mess of instruments that I don't even know the names for!

If you're unfamiliar with Naturally 7, simply do what I did and search youtube for them. They're a group of african-american men with a god-given gift. The gift of music and rhythm and an incredibly natural soul/flow to their music. They work as one unit, and the amount of time they must have put into perfecting their outstanding creations is immense. They do large performances in theatres, as well as impromptu performances in the most unusual locations. The weirdest place I've seen them perform? In a subway! Yep, they actually rode the subway, and began performing "I can feel it" during the ride, with all the passengers in awe at the showmanship of all 7 members.

Check out the subway video here.

This all just goes to show, you don't need fancy instruments or years of lessons in each respective discipline. All you need is a love for music, and a voice-box.
