You can expect a three-year-old child to say his name and age, name a friend, copy adults and show some affection and concern.
Most children that age can participate in different games, turn book pages one at a time and play with their toys. Even so, some people develop so quickly for how old they are!
Meet Akim Camara, a toddler who plays the violin like a pro.
Camara performs a concert for a crowd who loves him, which is so impressive and makes us understand why people often say that children are full of surprises.
You’ve got to love this talented little gentleman in a tuxedo!
There is an elegance overload from the very beginning of the video.
The performance is part of the live concert in Limburg, a city in the Netherlands. Everyone in the orchestra is dressed beautifully. All the men wear tuxedos and the women are dressed in beautiful gowns. It’s a happy, colorful thing to see.
André Rieu, the famous Dutch violinist, comes on stage and announces Camara.
They’re about to perform Ferdinand Küchler’s “Violin concertino in G, opus 11” together. The audience greets the child with a huge round of applause, making it obvious that they’ve already heard him and are thrilled by what the little boy can do.
Camara is the adorable little guy, and he is so adorable on stage.
Nevertheless, the child’s got a great talent and not many children his age can play the violin as well as he does.
Known to millions as the “King of the Waltz,” Rieu selflessly shares the stage with the young talent.
Rieu is best known for creating the 60-piece waltz-playing Johann Strauss Orchestra.
Together with the orchestra, he’s turned the classical and waltz music into a worldwide concert touring act. Having sold 40 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, Rieu has established a name for himself and is considered to be a true king of romance.
He’s been married for over 40 years and lives with his partner in a castle built in 1492 in the Netherlands. What a fairytale!
Today, Akim Camara is 20 years old and recently won second prize at a German youth music competition.
When little Camara appears on stage, you quickly forget about everyone else.
The child is very charismatic, and the toddler-size violin in his little hands makes him irresistible. Who wouldn’t pay to see him perform? The concert is from the year 2003, and the video received 28 million YouTube views. The best moment is when the little boy asks for some water in the middle of the concert!
Only a child can have such a pure and honest moment.
He doesn’t shy away from acting natural—after all, that’s what children do! They’re spontaneous, lovable, sincere, and unapologetic. His happy smile makes it all worthwhile.
We enjoyed the way Rieu treated him, and there was no pressure during the performance.
In the end, Camara was sent off stage with two massive standing ovations and roaring cheers.
We’re sure that the concert is probably one of Camara’s most important childhood memories!
As it turns out, Akim Camara was born in Germany, where he grew up and began playing the violin at the age of two. He later became part of the orchestra “Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie,” where he met his friends Martha, Sofia and Paula.
Together they formed a “Lieberman quartet” and continue to perform today.
We wish the very best for this talented young man!
