Sometimes, the best presents are handed to us when we least expect them. They don’t have to be in the form of material things but can be intangible sources of happiness that we never knew we needed.
In 2013, the people who attended the semi-annual TEDxRiodelaPlata conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina received a gift they did not expect and will surely never forget.
At first, everything in the conference hall seemed to be normal. People were buzzing around, waiting for the event to formally start. There was a lot of chatting, and everyone was busy.
When the music started to play, everyone probably thought that it was just a piece of background music for everyone to enjoy while they waited. But, out of nowhere, a man’s voice singing an opera song was heard.
When the people tried to find the singer, they saw that it was the man on the second level, singing his heart out as he stood by the railing.
He was a really good singer! But, what he did was only the beginning of an epic flash mob that no one thought was possible.
A little while longer, another loud voice was heard in the hall. This time, it was a woman’s voice. She appeared from the midst of a group of people as she sang in a clear and sultry voice.
At this point, the crowd was already hooked by the performance and was starting to get an inkling that a flash mob was unfolding right before their eyes. People took their cameras out and started capturing the epic performance.
You see, flash mobs are public performances done by large groups of people who immediately disperse after their number. While most flash mobs on the internet are dance numbers, this one is unique because it is a public display of vocal prowess!
People in the TED event were given a special treat that no one saw coming. When the other singers joined in the singing, everyone in the hall felt how the entire room came alive with energy! They were witnessing an amazing talent showcase of a huge group of singers performing at their best. It was such an incredible experience, indeed.
It was truly an enchanting moment! When the male singer and the female singer who started it all finally got to each other and sang together, the performance turned into an even more incredible number! The other singers joined in, and it was pure magic!
They sounded great, and everyone who was not part of the flash mob can’t help but admire the beautiful voices they were all listening to. The conductor of the flash mob was in the middle of the room, waving his hands and directing the singers vigorously as they belt out the incredible musical masterpiece.
Can you imagine hearing this amazing display of talent live? The people in the said event were truly lucky to have witnessed such a spectacular flash mob. They will surely remember this moment for the rest of their lives.
TEDxRiodelaPlata was an event conducted by a non-profit organization called TED which aims to uphold “ideas worth sharing”. They conduct a couple of conferences each year to promote gatherings of people with ideas that can possibly change the world for the better.
