Ladona wrote a post about the new video of ThePianoGuys: Titanium/Pavane last week (there’s an instrumental and a vocal version).
I’ve been enjoying the music and videos of ThePianoGuys for over a year now. They are musical. They are talented. And funny! Two musicians, Jon Schmidt on piano and Steven Starp Nelson playing the cello – both acoustic and electric – transform covers into art. And the settings of their videos are surprising, often breathtaking.
ThePianoGuys is an American YouTube channel consisting of Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, Tel Stewart, Paul Anderson and Al van der Beek. They became famous through YouTube, where they posted videos of renditions and mashups of popular songs accompanied by professional-looking video shot and edited by Paul Anderson and Tel Stewart. In December 2011 they released their first album.

My favorite is their remake of Coldplay’s Paradise, melted into an awesome African style piece, with Alex Boyé as singer.
Now enough of the talking and information. Let us listen and watch in stead!
Paradise
If you want to see other videos, here is the official ThePianoGuys channel.
What do YOU think about these guys?
Inderdaad zeer goed
Fijn dat je het ook mooi vindt!
I love the African sound in this number of Coldplay, who’s one of my favorites bands since the last 12 years btw
So do I, Angel, the African sound is like a heartbeat.
Certainly they provide an addictive sound!
They do. It is always fun and exciting when a new video comes out.
I came across these guys awhile ago, and I think I’ve watched every video on their YouTube channel. I love the different settings they film. A favourite of mine is the five people on one piano! Such a variety of texture of sound and from one instrument!
Do you have a link to that video, Helen? I don’t think I’ve seen it yet.
Here is the link:
Enjoy!

You are most welcome, Cher. What kind of music do you like?
I enjoy a variety of music. The only type of music I am not a big fan of is rap. My favorite music genre is 80′s.
And do you sing along with the eighties music? We could do a duet
