People can enjoy good music at any age.
Everyone loves a catchy rhythm, from toddlers to seniors—after all, we all respond to a good beat. If you needed any proof of that, just consider this awesome video from the Netherlands.
No matter what you’re going through, this video is sure to put you in a good mood!
It’s a spontaneous little jam recorded on the streets of the Hague, Netherlands. We see a busker playing his electric guitar who is soon approached by an old man. Although the music sounds great, what happens next is the best—the older gentleman starts dancing to the music!
It’s not just some moving and mingling around—he’s dancing like a pro!
It’s the early evening and the road is still wet. All the colors from the shop windows are coming together to form a beautiful, colorful background as an incredible stage for the old fellow to bust some moves. Needless to say, it seems like all the conditions were there for a great street performance!
The grandpa is dressed in black from head to toe and he’s sporting a hat and a long beard.
From his clothes to his smooth moves, it’s hard not to get the impression that this is one of the coolest guys out there. Meanwhile, the busker, Borja Catanesi, is a familiar face where he comes from as well. Catanesi is a young, talented musician from Valencia, Spain. Though he’s only 20 years old, he’s already been to more than 30 countries to perform music, mostly around Europe.
To display some of his unforgettable performances, Catanesi started a YouTube channel in 2018.
There you’ll find several incredible videos of his engaging live performances on the streets all over the world.
In some of his videos, the amazing Valencian is joined by professional dancers—in others, you see different collaborations with several instrumentalists.
The Hague is not the only place where Borja encouraged older people to dance—he has also worked his magic in India, Rotterdam and France.
The unique combination of the electric guitar, a loop pedal and beatboxing seem to be inspiring people to dance and sing everywhere he goes!
When the man dancing did a move that looked like it was out of The Matrix, we completely lost it!
It’s amazing to see so much spirit in someone who was just passing by!
Although there are plenty of great street performances out there online, the chemistry that these two share is incredible!
They never spoke a word to each other but music united them, and the old man couldn’t be happier.
As Borja keeps playing new and interesting variations on the tune, the other man keeps changes his choreography to fit the track better. In all, it was a pretty amazing show.
As it turns out, Catanesi has a debut album on the way.
After winning two major competitions, namely Feeling The Street in New Zealand, 2015 and Universal Street Games in Minnesota, 2018, Catanesia started to gain international recognition. He plans on recording his debut album soon, though it all depends on how fast he collects the money he needs.
If you like what Catanesi does with his music, you can tip him here.
He’s almost got 200,000 Instagram followers, so let’s hope that money won’t be an issue for him soon! Good luck Catanesi, keep on making people happy.
